Ride starting Sat Jun 16 11:57:52 2012

83.56 km 274153.40 feet 51.92 mi 18437.00 seconds 307.28 minutes 5.12 hours 10.14 mi/hr

Training for my Erie Canalway ride in three weeks. They recommend that you go for two 50 mile bike rides on consecutive days. This is one of them. Went down to Stark and then back on the Racquette River Road. I've ridden this way a couple of times before, but today I decided to try the East Hill Road. Definitely awesome! But you have to go east to west, because it has a crazy high hill, which is paved on the west approach and sandy dirt on the east approach. Therefore, climb up the dirt, and fly (40MPH!) down the pavement.

Tested the bike rack on the new car, AND needed to go to the store, so I drove into town, went for a ride on the Clarkson single track trails, then went out on a loop coming back on US11.

Second of two consecutive 50 mile rides, as part of training for the Erie Canalway tour. Oops, I actually went 60 miles. Did a few double-backs because of, um, wrong turns.

Went into town to look at the Racquette River in Potsdam to see if there was ANY possibility of putting a motorboat in. Absolutely none, and it's very likely too shallow in the only possible area.

Went on a little ride after dinner in to Potsdam and up to Parishville. :-) Good thing the sun doesn't set until 9PM this time of the year.

Just a big loop ride out to the north. Decent pace, but Thursday's ride wast a bit faster.
