NY to Vermont

After a late start, 10:30 a.m. due to heavy rain, Doug left the dry cabin and George and Allegra behind to pedal through more humidity and hills. He met a local cyclist (a doctor from Virgina) who asked if he wanted a Gatorade. Doug said "sure" and he took him to his cabin on Blue Mountain Lake. They went for a swim in the lake and Doug had a nice break. He continued on to a state park near Newcomb on Lake Harris where he camped and swam again. It was an 85 mile day. He awoke to a wonderful less humid day. He biked to Ticonderoga, NY and took a small ferry across Lake Champlain into Vermont. He pedaled through Middlebury College campus (we had visited there with Rita on our college tours). It was the most beautiful campus! He hoped to get 20 more miles in before stopping for the night...out of cell phone range. What did we do before cell phones??
Doug called with an update...He made it to Hancock, VT last night. Asked people if there was a place to camp. They said no, but directed him to a home where a woman rents rooms to hikers/bikers. He went there and was told they were full. He told the woman he had biked 90 miles and really didn't want to go any further. She said he could sleep on the porch if he wanted and she didn't charge him! He was able to use the bathroom and kitchen facilities and eat with the hikers.
He said the roads have been terrible! Patches upon patches, very rough. He had road construction on the big hill out of Middlebury, which was dirt/gravel.
Today he hopes to get to North Woodstock, VT.
He reported feeling tired, but doing well. He hopes to be in Bar Harbor by Wednesday.
