Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

That was a few miles south of 67. Burnt Hills/Charlton/Milton has so many nice rides.

You can’t go wrong out that way. I mostly do that area, the side of Saratoga Lake or down to the hills off of 5S or 5 if I have more time.

Occasional windmill, a few deer, eventually opening up into a few farms. For the vast majority of the day though, there was nothing.

Yes, it started getting misty right when we stopped to take pictures. Still one of my favorite places to ride.
