A Long & Hot Biking Day for the NY-Montreal Trekkers


We started this morning with an early wakeup at the hotel. We woke up at 6:00 in the morning,  trying to pack our bags before breakfast started, so that when breakfast was over, we could just leave the hotel. We thought that breakfast was at 6:30, but it was actually at 7:00, which means that we needed to wait. We tried to leave  the hotel early so that we could avoid the heat wave that was coming later in the day. We also had a 48 mile day today. We biked for a few hours, going about 40 miles before lunch, meanwhile as the temperature rose up to 95 degrees! Thankfully, there was not a lot left in the day, and we could get to the campsite in good time. We closed off the day with some ramen stir-fry and cold showers.
