Today was our eighth century in nine days and the final one of the trip. The day was overcast with temperatures between about 8 and 15 C. The wind was quite a big factor today as we faced the strongest consistent headwinds for sometime. It started to bring back memories of the day from Helena to Bozeman, which I consider to be one of the toughest days, mainly due to the headwinds. Maybe they weren't as bad today but I also think we have become stronger, more experienced riders as the the trip has progressed because they didn't really bother me as much. The day started with a nice descent which was a change from the previous two rides where there were hills from the start. We were on some fairly busy roads before lunch but in the afternoon we entered Adirondack Park where we rode though a forest and were treated to views of the vivid Fall colours and some pretty lakes. There are lots of familiar place names round here, we rode though Rome, I spotted signs for Poland, Russia and Ohio and Google Maps reveals loads more, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Oxford, Norwich, Bolton (now I'm just listing places to increase the word count). Lovely view from the hotel again tonight and another great dinner.
