Boonsville, NY
Out of the mountains. Today was a day of rolling hills, pace lines, and lakes. The terrain was great, hills by not too steep and getting that elevation drop from the day before--what goes up must come down kind of thing. Started with a fast pace with Wade and we picked up John around mile 10. Road in for a great lunch spot on Seventh Lake. The lake was beautiful with a sandy bott0m and clear water. It was perfect for a refreshing swim and frisbee toss in the shallow water. Jeremy, Wade and I headed out for another dozen miles past Golden beach and through Old Forge before Will and Nate caught up for a 5 man pace line. We picked up Jason at a lunch stop and went for an amazingly fast last 15 miles in a tight line. There was a stretch of about 4 miles that we didn't go below 25mph. We reached the church and my computer told me 17.4mph average for the 76 total mile day. Seems fast.
