We are in Burlington, Vermont, more than halfway through the trip and Montreal is right around the corner...or something like that... So far two things are clear: our trippers love ice cream and hate the rain (especially when all of their equipment gets completely soaked; but, nothing a few donuts cant fix). In general, the weather has been great and spirits have been high. Everyone has been pedalling strong across some pretty hilly terrain but we have also biked on some great trails over the past couple of days. Our progress has come a long way, as the trippers are really improving on their bicycles and working together as a team. Everybody is looking forward to arriving in Canada tomorrow and in preparation, we have all become fluent in French.
So far, our activities have included a tour of Hyde Park (home to FDR), an overnight/tour of the Aerodrome in Old Rhinebeck (home of the oldest flying airplane in America), a ride to the top of the observation tower and a mosey through the museum in Albany, mini-golf in Lake George Village, a tour of the Rokeby House for some good Vermont history and a visit to Dakin Farms for a taste of Vermont, and lots of swimming along the way.
