Wondu led us to the bike trail |
For those of you keeping track, that was 5,144 miles to get to Burlington. We'll see what it takes to get home.
Very pretty along Lake Champlain this morning |
It was another pretty day riding through the Vermont country side. We passed quite a number of dairy farms, pretty much like the one below.

It was very UP and DOWN all day. Roger's Garmin recorded over 4000 feet of climbing, but we only ever made it up to about 450 feet of elevation. So that's the same 100 feet, over and over! He said he thought there was probably a climb in every mile of the trip, and he was right - there were 60 of them in our 69 mile ride today! Plus a headwind - did I mention the headwind? Anyway, the end result of all that is we are beat.
We are staying in a cool old mansion in Fair Haven, built of marble. Tomorrow we're camping though - so it all evens out!

That's about the size of it!
DeleteSeems like the day after a rest day is always hard. Any correlation?
ReplyDeleteNot that I have noticed. I usually feel pretty fresh and comfortable after a day off. These were just hard miles, is all!
