Indian Lake, NY
Crazy weather. Preparing for a 65 mile day with a big net gain in elevation, we at a huge breakfast at the YMCA. Off by 8, the weather was hot for some steep early climbs. About 15 miles in there was a long hill that went on for a few miles and it seemed to get sunnier as we went up. Then we hit the top and it began raining for the descent. It rained, cleared, brightened, thundered, and poured. Thankfully we just made it over the Hudson river and to a pavilion for lunch before the pouring started. It cleared and we got back to doing the thing. We were ready for our first camping night, but when we reached the RV park we were redirected to the United Methodist church in town for a dry floor. I picked up half gallon of chocolate milk--finished within the hour--and some snap peas for the next ride. The dinner group made tacos and I had an early sleep. Great views all around.
