59 miles
This is the third day riding in the Adirondack mountains. This three day stretch has to be the most beautiful consecutive three days of the tour.
When we woke up this morning it was foggy at the hotel. We had to climb out of the Indian Lake watershed and the sun was shinning nicely once we got to the summit of the first hill. Also it was not humid which made for another great day of cycling.

We first rode again on Hwy 28 to North Creek until we got to Riparius. When we reached the Hudson River there were many rafting groups getting ready to spend the day on the river. This area is very forested and pretty. After Chestertown we came to our lunch stop on Bryant Lake. As we headed east we had a significant climb toward Lake George. Once we reached the summit we had a 4 1/2 mile down hill to the little town of Hague.
We headed south along the shore of Lake George to the YMCA/Siver Bay Center of the Adirondacks. This is a huge facility with many things to do on the lake.
