Colin:
Waking up next to lock 10 on the Mohawk River was a great experience. To the west, mist clung to the calm surface of the river and to the flow through the lock left the water much more turbulent. We ate our breakfast perpindicular to the lock and took in the sight.
For most of the second shortest riding day of our trip we enjoyed the Mohawk Hudson bike trail which kept us largely in forests along the disused erie canal.
Eventually this led to the suburbs of Albany and we made our way to my friends' apartment downtown.
With so little ground to cover we reached our destination in time to get cleaned up and meet my friend Nick for lunch. We spent the afternoon with Dani until Nick came home and passed the evening playing Settlers of Catan and catching up.
It was nice to have a short, restful day in preparation for our first mountains in almost a month.
