New York-Montreal Checks Out FDR's Home

The Day 3 update:

The group biked a fast 30 miles from the camp site to what was Franklin D. Roosevelt's favorite home: Springwood in Hyde Park, NY. We were happy to see less hills today on the route. We got to tour the home he was born in and learned a lot. The grounds were absolutely beautiful! We are camping again tonight, and only have a couple more miles to bike today.
Springwood Estate, located along the Hudson.
 Words to summarize today's trip from the Trekkers: pizza (yum!), quick, pleasant, damp, enjoyable. 

So far the trip is going well, no major bike or direction problems which is making the trip run very smoothly!  The group gets on great-the benefits of a small group of Trekkers is that everyone already knows one another pretty well.  Ready for another great day along the Hudson...!
