Adirondacks Three Day; Day 1

Ruth and I took a leisurely morning and left for Lake George about 10:30. We rode Rte 62 to 140 and then north to Rte 2. We rode a little longer and stopped for ....
and then continued out Rte 2.

Ruth was enjoying her ride and needed a bladder break on Florida Mountain. It's a great view from there and she's always a good subject of photos. (By the way, I don't have any idea why the photos are black and white rather than color. It seems my camera was toggling back and forth randomly!)

I then reminded Ruth about the hairpin turn coming up. Although she was concerned, she did it like a trooper! She did criticize her own technique in that she crossed the centerline on the exit of the turn but I thought she did great!

My plan was to ride Rte 2 until I got to the corner of NY and then follow a route from the April, '07 issue of RoadRunner magazine. It was in a Shamrock Tour beginning in Glen Falls, NY (just south of Lake George). It had us going route 2 to 22 to 372 to 40 to 197. I thought the route was FABULOUS!!! It was mostly two lane roads and quite comfortable to ride on. Traffic was light and I enjoyed the roads lots.

We arrived at Lake George about 5 PM and headed for the KOA that is actually in Lake Luzerne. We're camping here because of some points for the AMA Grand Tours

Both of us forgot a few things and Ruth had noticed a Target a few miles back (in Glen Falls) so we went back to it. To her surprise, there was a JCPenney there and Ruth had to visit. We also had an "Apple Fortune" at a 99 restauraunt (thanks Dick!!) and then headed back for the night.
