Monday June 22nd, Syracuse NY to Herkimer NY, 70 miles
We left the Cuse this morning heading East to the small town of Herkimer. Our route seemed to serpentine multiple times back and forth over Interstate 90. The weather was quite pleasant- sunny with light winds. I had a silly fall this morning while steadying my bike as I inflated a tire resulting in a couple of bruises well treated with Tylenol. Speaking of tires, I had to replace my back one after the ride due to a divot in the tread which was probably a little risky to continue riding with given the steep descents we have coming up in New England. Herkimer, named for an American Revolutionary War General is roughly halfway between Syracuse and Albany, our destination tomorrow. It has about 7000 residents.
