Long Lake, NY

Just checking in - we've been riding through the Adirondacks for the last three days. The mountains are beautiful and we're getting some climbing done. Jeremy got his seventh flat this morning. I have started taking pictures of him changing the tire tubes all around New York State. It will make for a nice photo album eventually.

The weather is becoming extremely changeable here as elevation increases. We rode through pretty solid rain this morning and even though it cleared out in the afternoon, the clouds are still looking tricky. We will try to cover 70 miles today nevertheless. Riding through rain is actually proving quite nice now that we have all the rain gear figured out. And it's much nicer than riding when it's hot.

In any case, Jeremy is just packing up and we should be able able to leave the internet cafe and start the second half of our day soon. It's nice to finally get so much reading done since Jeremy has joined the tour - waiting for him pack his panniers is proving very productive lately!
