Poughkeepsie to White Lake

6/14/2007

Today was another great ride. We went about 72 miles to White Lake depending on how many times you got lost. We rode across a beautiful bridge and then did some stretching while checking out the views.


The morning was very peaceful. We rode through some wine country on great roads that allowed us to ride side by side and have good conversation. It was pretty hilly, which seems to be the standard in New England. Here's a nice pic of the group I rode with.



Eventually we found out that one of the roads we were supposed to go on was illegal for bike riders, so we had to figure out another route.


There was one really long climb for a couple miles, but we were rewarded with some breathtaking views and an exhilarating downhill.


We outrode the van for lunch and had to stop at a little pizza place for fuel.


Since some of the turns are hard to follow, we all keep pieces of chalk to mark the road for those behind.


We stayed the night in some camp cabins, which was really nice. In addition, some people of the community drove us to the original site of Woodstock, which was pretty cool.
