Stage 5 Utica to Amsterdam

Thunderstorms rolled through the area starting late afternoon yesterday with rain continuing until early this morning. Under threatening skies, we headed out not knowing if the conditions would be rainy or sunny today. Fortunately by 10AM it had become a nice sunny day with white puffy clouds and temperatures cooler than yesterday in the low 70's.  

To stay off the soggy gravel paths, for the first 16 miles it was mostly on the quiet roads until coffee at Herkimer.  After the break we continued on with most of the trip on asphalt trails. The weather was cool in the 70's and the wind was mostly to our backs.

Lunch was at a marina in Saint Johnsville midway in the ride. We also had an ice cream stop at 59 miles at Karen's Ice Cream with about 6 miles to the end of the ride.
