P2P day 39



State #12.  I don’t want to brag but I did ride my bike from Oregon to New York.........Fugget about it. 





If you don’t know Strava this means nothing to you but if you do know Strava this shows that I pedaled really hard for 5 miles.  Still couldn’t take 1st overall despite leaving a trail of sweat, tears and puke up the hill.  Fugget about it.

I figure that a picture of the New York sign should be enough for today but then I recalled what Benjamin Franklin once said to me...he said “ Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy”.  Don’t know about the God thing but I think he’s on to something with the beer part.  The picture is for Allison and Mike, the real beer geeks in the family....2 beers, both unfiltered and both great.  

Fugget about it

Out.

P2P day 14

1,196 miles down, only 2,642 to go.  Tonight’s stop is the Super 8 Hotel in Columbus, MT (not a lot of options here).  Enjoying riding through the conservative West seeing all of the American flags and pro-military stuff.  Walking through this small town you see yellow ribbons carved out of wood and nailed to signposts with a soldiers name and branch of service written on it. Whatever your view on the military is you have to admire the pride they have in their citizens.  Good on ya Super 8.  Love the rhyme, too. Saw this sign in Reedpoint, MT with an old map showing location of its towns residents.   Great sign I saw at tonight’s dinner restaurant:  Damn, missed it by a day.  I’ll check back tomorrow, hopefully they’ll be running the same special. Before I leave Montana I’ll leave you with some Montana facts: The first luge run built in North America was built in Lolo Hot Springs (where I just was) in 1965. The population density is 6 people per square mile In

P2P days 42 and 43

Day 42 took us to Piseco, NY and I stayed in a cabin on Piseco Lake.  Not a bad place but the only internet access was in the lodge lobby and I didn’t feel like hanging out with 13 others in a small room geeking out.  Saturday, Day 42 was the first day of the trip that I felt completely weak on the bike.  Not sure why but I just didn’t have it. (The good news is. . . . . .I bounced back, felt super strong, and flattened out the hills today)  We did enter the Adirondack Park yesterday and continued through it today.  Most of the roads there had very few homes and businesses and had great landscapes of multi-colored trees in fall colors.  A few pics: Entering the park Starting a climb along West Canada Creek Columbia ✔️, Snake ✔️, Missouri✔️, Mississipi✔️, Hudson✔️ Looking South down the Hudson River nearing Vermont. The Liberty Monument entering tonight’s visit to Ticonderoga, NY.  You history buffs know the importance of Fort Ticonderoga in the 7 Years
