Crazy warm day here in Upstate NY . . .
Today I headed over to Cambridge in Washington County to guest ride with the Cambridge Valley Cycling Club and their president, Gary. This is the ancestral home of the Tour of the Battenkill, so many of the roads were familiar from my riding and photography coverage of that race for 11 years. We got in almost 28 miles of friendly, casual riding out of town and then up scenic Camden Valley to the Vermont border, where we turned around as the road turned to fresh, un-compacted dirt. Temps were in the near-unbelievable 70 degree range and it was a weird feeling to be riding among the bare trees in shorts and short sleeves. We also found some leftover Halloween decorations–at least I hope they were for Halloween! Also some pre-election day costume shenanigans at the main intersection in town. After the ride I headed down Route 22 to Brown's Brewing in North Hoosick to enjoy some relaxation, lunch, and a freshly brewed pint. A great day!
