IBTS14 9/17 Charlemont, Ma to Wilmington, Vt

 

Yesterday I neglected to tell you we were staying on a farm

  2014-09-16 (3)What’s the old saying? “Make hay while the sun shines”?  Well here that hay is made and shrink wrapped; which is good because the sun isn’t shining.

 Today we rode from Charlemont, Ma to Wilmington, Vt..

2014-09-16 (5)The route was mostly on remote roads without traffic.  There were very small towns along the way but Craig and I couldn’t figure out why anyone lived there. “How far would you have to drive to get a loaf of bread?” 

The vegetation was primarily forests; we were aware that we were riding next to a river or lake. The scenery was wonderful and the roads mostly smooth; what more could you want? A cup of coffee, that’s what.  We rode 28 miles – up and down and back up some more – is search of a cup of coffee.  Finally, at mile 28.3 we had to settle for a wine tasting.

The Old Red Mill Inn is pretty basic.  It will be interesting to see if Brenda and I can spend a night together on such a small bed.  If you see a blog tomorrow, we survived the night!  Otherwise, my memorial service will be announced in a later blog. Stay tuned.
