124km/75m, 6hrs 34mins, 18.9kph/11.7mph, 1053m/3422ft of climbing.
Longish day today, went some way to making up for yesterday. The forecast storms didn't miss me altogether, but caught me only once.
I began with the biggest climb of the trip so far. Not the way to start the day. And a respectable amount of climbing overall. But today was the Appalachians' last hurrah. Tomorrow things flatten out and stay fairly level until Toronto. Ten days to go but I am beginning to feel that this epic trip is drawing to its close.
Tonight I am in Glen Falls, New York. And I decided to treat myself to a proper hotel - The Queensberry. Think late Victorian city centre hotels; high ceilings, chandeliers, lots of ceramic tiles. Not as young as it was, but in pretty good nick for its age. I'm feeling a bit like that myself after seven weeks on the bike.
