Today was a short ride spread throughout the day. We spent 3 hours at Lake George devouring ice cream and stand up paddle boarding. After our time at the lake we had a short 10-mile ride to our campsite which will put us ahead for our 50-mile ride tomorrow to Vermont. The campsite is very nice and we’re all looking forward to a good night’s sleep.

Today we left Albany. We biked on a bike path along the Hudson for 5 miles, then went on to route 9. We stopped at a Price Chopper for lunch. After lunch we continued through a town on Saratoga Lake. We stopped on the bridge to eat ice cream, and to go bridge jumping into the lake. We ate ramen stir fry for dinner at our campsite, then went to see the sunset on the lake, and had s’mores for dessert. ~Written by Trekker Hazel

We woke up early after camping at a New York State park at 6:30. We packed up quickly and got out of camp by 8:00 a.m. After a 22 mile jaunt over the rolling hills of Rensselaer County we rolled into Albany at 11:00 a.m. Lunch was sandwiches, humus, fruit, along with a quart of milk and a pint of yogurt. After dumping our stuff at the Holiday Inn Express we biked to the New York State Capitol to take a walking tour and then visited the Observation Deck at the NYS Mall. We got some much needed sugar at Dunkin donuts because apparently not just America but all of New York capital runs on Dunkin. After that we headed back-to the hotel where we crashed the pool and ate their cookies. Then we had take out Chinese and called it a day. We’ve made it halfway up New York State!

Leaving M Norrie State Park, today’s route became surprisingly straight, forwards. We soon stopped at Reinbeck to visit the farmers market. Locals could not stop being curious, and we received questions, advice, and even prayers. After some technical difficulties, (flat tires) we reached Hudson and ate pizza. To reach our campsite we had to bike in extra 7 miles in the setting sun. We set up our tents and swam ending quite a day under the shadow of an historic industrial building.
