47 miles
Just as we were eating breakfast at the trailer this morning a couple of deer came up and wanted food too. They are pretty used to people around here.
We are in the heart of the Adirondacks now. No more flat rides.
We left the Forge Motel around 8 a.m. and took a back road around the lake to Inlet.

At Inlet we got back onto Hwy 28 which is a designated bike route. Riding conditions were excellent again as it was cool with no headwinds. Most of the ride consisted of up and down rollers with a few steep hills. I kind of enjoyed it as the humidity was very low and we got some great down hill rides.
22 miles into the trip we stopped in Raquette Lake and had an ice cream cone while checking out another beautiful lake. It was another 11 miles to Blue Mountain Lake.

We had a great spot for lunch with a view of Lake Durant. This area is very well preserved for a state park.
Finally we got to Indian Lake around 1:30 p.m. and some of the group stopped at another ice cream shop waiting for Blaine to come to the motel to check us in.
As the official tour winds down the group is now feeling very mellow. The rides each day are shorter and most of us take it easy by stopping at several shops along the route.
