Mo' hills

Today, we worked hard; we started our day pretty early and wrapped it up fairly late. We are both tired and just enjoyed a big meal and a few beers at a restaurant down the street from our 70's era motel here in Ticonderoga. After sleeping in the back yard of green Mtn. Cycles's owner, Dune, we started pedaling up Breadloaf mountain. It was by far the most difficult of the climbs so far. Ev received a bit of encouragement from a local rider near the top of the mountain. A long downhill was our reward! After a long ride through eastern vt. Farm country, we took the ferry across lake Champlain. After riding though fort Ticonderoga, we rode into town. Almost immediately, I spotted a fellow cross-country cyclist! His name was Gary and he lives in Oregon. He was almost done with his trip, so he had a few pointers for us, and we for him! What a great chance meeting! We are now planning our route for tomorrow!
