Stage 4 - Syracuse to Utica

 Gorgeous day for a bike ride. Blue skies and just a couple of clouds as we weaved our way out of Syracuse this morning. It's always a bit tricky to navigate your way in a city and a bit more tricky when the route you are following are based on a set of Google maps when you were making the route 2 months before in the comfort of your home 3 thousand miles away. Everything worked out and within 5 miles we were back on the canal bike trail zipping along to our first coffee stop. As a side note, everything revolves around the next stop. Typically it's coffee and danish about 1/4 of the ride followed by lunch at 1/2 of the ride and ice cream 3/4 of the ride. What a diet!!

Today the coffee stop was in a small town of Cittenango. As we pulled into the town, I spied an ice cream joint call "North Pole". That brought up the question; "Is it ever too early to have ice cream"? After a short discussion it was decided that it was never too early for ice cream, so we headed to the North Pole!! When we got there, it was closed, so I guess there are times when it's too early for ice cream.
