New York-Montreal Trekkers Do Albany



The New York-Montreal Trek continued its march north, arriving in Albany on Saturday afternoon early enough to enjoy some well-deserved rest by the hotel pool after a strenuous couple of days. The crew turned in a tough, 40-mile day on Friday, taking roadside stops at fruit stands and a winery along the way to beat the heat. After camping out by a pavilion on the shore of the Hudson River and being treated to an excellent dinner prepared by Adrian, Carter, and Jonathon along with a gorgeous sunset over the water, the group pedaled the remaining distance to New York's capital the next morning and dined at Bomber's Burrito Bar, a favorite Mexican joint of trip leader and Albany native Andy. On Sunday the guys gorged themselves on a continental breakfast, toured the majestic state capitol building, and caught a matinee showing of Minions. We'll be going out for dinner in Albany again tonight and getting a good night's sleep in preparation for the longest riding day of our trip tomorrow!
