Tuesday, 16 June 2009, I went out on a standard two bridges or Route 9 Loop ride. Nice day, cool and nothing by way of wind. Clock-wise, viewed from above.

Squashed turles line the road. It went fast in spite of the week's lay-off while I was out of town. Then there was a weekend completely taken by a reunion with a couple of high school buddies, Wes and Colin.

We had a blast. We went to breakfast together, the three of us, at the IHOP on Wolf Rd. and nearly forgot the day's plans. Gisele arrived and we took off for the Hancock Shaker Village NOT located in Hancock, MA, but closer to Pittsfield. We find the place, have lunch, and go through the village and its historic treasures. There is an introduction to the Shaker Community, its history, and final disposition.
We came back to Troy, NY, then to Brown's ale house. We take the two home and promise to reassemble Sunday morning. We do and go north to Saratoga Springs for a visit to the State Park then the race course, Yaddo, and the Battlefield. With one eye on the clock and one eye on a visit round the battlefield, we do lunch from another well-packed basket fournished by Gisele.
We're off on the rounds, and when 2 pm rolls around, we leave the circuit, and take Colin to his Troy hotel.
1 h 30 min for the 30 miles = 20 mph.
Next day: my legs felt funny.
