During our trip to the Adirondacks we made a slight detour to visit the Champlain Canal Lock area. The area, full of farmlands, is beautiful and the gravel roads are awesome.

We keep coming back to the Adirondacks, this time to see beautiful foliage. Also, it’s our first time ever knocking on a stranger’s door asking for help.

For my birthday weekend, I attempted to tackle my first half century ride and ended up with a few more miles. It was my longest bike ride ever and a great experience testing my endurance limits. I hope I can do a century ride (100 miles) in a few years.
