Thought For The Day
- Never quit.
I stopped for a full breakfast in Perth (NY not AU). You can do that when you’re only planning to go 42 miles.
I stopped in Saratoga Springs at a bicycle shop to buy a bar-end mirror. It’s coming off. I don’t like it. I think it’s at best a distraction. I sort of feel that way about mirrors in general, including look-back radar.
Just outside Schuylerville I stopped at a roadside apple orchard to try my first New York apple cider. It was very good.
Tonight I’m staying at my first guest house. They are a little bit more expensive than your average motel but the charm is hard to beat. It was a little disappointing that the in-house restaurant here is only open Wednesday through Sunday. I guess that means I’ll have to come back?
Tomorrow, I hope to reach Ticonderoga. That would be 64 miles from here. The terrain could be challenging.
The Dovegate Inn, Schuylerville, New York.
Very charming. Come Wed-Sun for dinner.
A Brooks No. 17 Bicycle Saddle
is the most comfortable saddle for long distance touring.
