New York and Vermont

Bernice and I flew up to New York on early Wednesday morning. We we able to see Dad, Nancy, Jeanne and Berns Dad all in the afternoon prior to dinner.  Then we went out to eat with Dad and Ann ---pictured to the right

Early the next morning we headed over to Middlebury VT  to do some cycling. Of course a trip to Vermont is not complete without the required covered bridge photo


Along the way we saw some interesting markings on the road. We were trying to decipher the markings when who should appear. 

Our trusty mechanic, friend and tour guide for the day Jim Benson. Jim was the mechanic for our  cross country trip last summer.  He did a great job of leading us on quiet roads through the Champlain basin. Thanks Jim !!!

The flowers were in bloom and their were all colors to behold as fall arrives in the northeast.


We stayed at the Cornwall Orchard B&B just outside of Middlebury VT. This is a pic of our hosts Bob & Juliet. They provided great hospitality, excellent breakfasts and a quaint and relaxing environment.











 We spent two days cycling the hills of Vermont.  We saw 13% -14% on the GPS for gradient several times and 6 -8 % was very common.  UP & DOWN was the common track.   We followed Jim the first day and he routed us the second day --- excellent scenery and roads.

We had a nice scenic drive home and were able to bring home some NY apples.

Last night we had a nice time at my sisters camp on the river and got to spend some time with my nephew Colby.
