Later in the afternoon I also went for a short bike ride (a little over 5 miles) with my mom.  It was a nice way to end the day.  The weather was just gorgeous and you could see for miles! Everything was so green and perfect.

Today, I ended up doing a long bike ride.  I rode for about 1 hr 40 minutes.  During that time, I managed to bike the entire length of West River Road and ended up in Fort Edward.  I decided that I did not want to back-track down West River Road again, so I returned via Route 4 into Schuylerville.  Overall, (according to google maps) I biked 25.6 miles today – the ride was amazing.  I rode up one side of the Hudson and back down the other.  The only part that I could have done without was the Steel Deck Bridge in Northumberland… I ended up walking across it, and was very happy that there was not a lot of traffic.  Also, I was amazed at the amount of road kill on that bridge.  I guess the animals must need the bridge to get across the river too.

Again, today, the weather was amazing.  Couldn’t of asked for a better day.  I hope next time I head East that the weather is just as good!  I also need to think up a good long bike trip for my next venture.  Maybe I should conquer the battlefield… anyone want to join me? 🙂
