31 Miles
The folks at the Silver Bay Center provided a great morning breakfast. We decided not hit the road until around 9:00 a.m. since this would be a short riding day.

I left with Gail and Tom and we rode up the western side of Lake George for about 14 miles before we came to the town of Ticonderoga. We hung around the visitor's center there for about 45 minutes and then rode to Ft. Ticonderoga. This fort has a lot of history dating to the Revolutionary and French and Indian War. The fort is well preserved and had a number of demonstrations.

By lunch time we took the ferry across Lake Champlain to the Vermont boarder. The wind picked up significantly. The first 10 miles were very pleasant as there were no cars riding on the narrow roads. However, once we got to our lunch spot in Shoreham the road surface became rough and the traffic increased. Tom, Gail, and I met the others in the group outside the library in Shoreham. After lunch we all road to Middlebury and got there around 2:00 p.m. This town is very nice and we got to stay in a classy hotel called the Middlebury Inn. Ken and Nancy took us all out to "Fire and Ice" and then ice cream afterwards.
