Last night was remarkably cool. The temperature at 6:30 this morning was 56*. It was the only night I actually used my sleeping bag.
We were up pretty early this morning and got started with breaking camp. We enjoyed the free continental breakfast provided by the Campground, then we were on our way. Our target departure time was 9 am and we pretty much met that.
We decided that we preferred to utilize back roads for as much of the trip as we could. This meant added time to make the trip home due to traffic and stop lights, but for me it was worth the extra time. It allowed us to run some great roads and experience some very interesting little towns along the way. One that was particularly picturesque was Stockbridge MA.
We stopped for lunch just outside Poughkeepsie NY before moving on. In all the trip took about 10 hours including stops, which didn't set any records, but it was a good day of riding.
The entire trip was a good time. It was fun to welcome Tony to the group and at the same time, it was unfortunate that our brother Jay wasn't able to join us this year. Everyone is already looking forward to next year, though the destination is yet to be determined.
