Our longest tandem ride ever! We're working up to 45 miles per day so we can ride the Genesee Valley Greenway end to end in two days.

Went out on the Rutland Trail for the first time in a while. It's been a wet spring, and the trail has a lot of ATV-created mudpits. Got black splotches on me from the silty mud -- probably containing a lot of coal dust which is notoriously blackening. The Rutland Railroad used coal cinders for ballas because they had a lot of cinders and they were cheap. Unfortunately, they also not very well adhered, and so under the crushing action of wheels, they break up and make a very fine powder.
Really, what the Rutland Trail needs is to have a LOT more bicyclists so we can kick the ATVers off the trail, and lay down some nice rolled rock dust, or even pavement.

Late late afternoon tandem ride with Heather. Basically, just around the block, although a "ride around the block" is ten miles for us. :)
