The Beers

Alicia and I enjoy many outdoor activities. Alicia has long had a life goal of bicycling across America. It sounded like a great adventure to me. This was an opportune pause in our lives with a recent job loss (May 2009), so with just three weeks of planning and training - we were off.

This trek started May 24th, 2009 from Anacortes, Washington ending 65 days later in Portland, Maine (We had expected 60 days to Bar Harbor, Maine.).

Day 58. Fulton, NY

We have encountered the enemy and his name is "Endless Hills"! 73
miles. Our map mentions the last glacier formed hills similar to sand
dunes which are steep on one side and gradual on the other. The are
arranged so that the steep side faces west. We have confirmed this is
the case - the hard way!!!

We stopped in Williamson and sent back another 9.5 pounds of vital,
irreplaceable gear that we now must find a way to live without. But
we are lighter.

We had a nice lunch at a roadside fruit stand and restuarant called
Burnaps.
