Our intrepid Trekkers were treated to a gorgeous ride on Friday over rolling
green hillsides along Lake Champlain as they pedaled roughly 35 miles from
Vergennes to Burlington, VT
where they paid a visit to the aptly named Old Spokes
Home, a nonprofit bicycle shop and museum. After a scrumptious dinner of udon
stir fry prepared by Adrian, Gabe, and Carter and a hurried smores session, the
crew bunkered down in their tents as rain poured down. We awoke the following
morning for a short and pleasant ride that featured two short ferry rides
crossing from Vermont through the Champlain islands and back into New York.
Leader Andy hosted the group at his spacious apartment in Plattsburgh on
Saturday, where he whipped up some mango salsa over Caribbean black beans.
Tomorrow the boys will be waking up early for an omelette cook-off to fuel up in
advance their Canadian border crossing - Montreal, here we come!
