"Today was exhilarating. Sam woke us up bright and early. We started out the day
with a couple of uphills as we made our way toward Hyde Park. Although we
battled a head wind and unrelenting sun, we made it to FDR's house just before
it closed. Our longest day of biking so, makes us ready for a good nights sleep." -- Tyler, Trip Leader
"Yesterday we got up early to get a head start for the very hot day. We
continued through the Hudson Valley to the town of Hudson. While the previous
days had "prepared" us for the hills we encountered, the ride was not any less
challenging. We ended up going an extra 10 miles and we camped on the river in
where some of us swam. We ended the night with a fun singing competition.
Today we left our campground straight into more hills. After a few miles it
leveled out into a flat road which was nice despite the lack of scenery. Just
before lunch we arrived in Albany, ecstatic that we would be staying in a hotel.
After lunch we went to the library and walked around town, relaxing before a day
of real sightseeing the next day." -- Daniel, Teen Trekker
