quite a day folks. once again droiding so bear with me. the day started off solid but slowly. dave rode with us again for a little at the start which was awesome. having that harmonica in the background created a smile on my face that i just couldnt hide. dave and greg also managed to cause a rucous about maps with the owner of grampys gas station. solid start.
we said goodbye to dave and meandered through NY. we eventually hit the ghettos of albany which were just great. we were out of place but it was still so lovely. as we got outta town we stopped at subway and got lunch. solid crew and we chatted for a bit. i got to see aaron bernstein who came by to say hi. great guy. it was great to see him. next we got to enjoy the mowhawk bike trail along the hudson. awesome. for a while till i crashed because of random cement barriers that block the trail around a blind turn. just a bruise and scrape on the arm no big deal. however i bent my back rack and that got progressively worse.
we then took rte five to the eerie canal bikeway.this is where greg decided to ride into a wooden post and bend his fork to an almost unrideable state. its ok for now, we will get it checked in ithaca. we saw a fox, that was cool.
we knew we had a long ride and rode into the dark. my rack got worse and eventually began rubbing against my tire really slowing us down.it was like an extra qpp pounds was on the bike. but we made it and its about time for bed. tomorrow will be better. spirits are fine and we will handle stuff in the am.
love
jason
