Blue Mountain Construction Crew

This morning we ascended Blue Mountain and this was somewhat of a relief as it would be our last major climb in the Adirondacks Mountains. As we took in the view at the top of the Blue Mountain pass snapped some some pictures, a joking road worker asked, "Hey, why aren't you taking a picture of us?!"

This question led us to a humerous discussion with the entire road crew and we appreciated listening to their words of encouragement. After the Blue Mountain pass, we enjoyed a blazing ride down the west side and then for the rest of the day we maintained a somewhat constant elevation as we cycled past a long chain of mountain lakes.

We Thank Today's Fans For Life:
Larry Myers-McElwre - Former manager of the CCB Cycle Club in Boston, Massachusetts who previously did extensive cyclotouring in Scotland and England.
Dave Loome - Cross-country cyclist who invited us to stay at his house in Stillwater, MN when we pass through his hometown later in the summer.

Day 11 Recap: Long Lake, NY to Thendara, NY (47 miles)
