It was a nice day. My first stop was in Hudson. Even though I was cycling through a flat valley, I was going slowly because of the strong wind. I thought it might actually be worse than riding through a hilly area without any wind.

It was another pretty windy day. I was heading to the West Point Military Academy, but Route 218 was closed because an explosion had blocked the road. I had to take a different road with a difficult uphill climb. At least I had a great view of West Point. I stayed there until evening and then cycled just a few miles to Bear State Park. That day, I completed the loop. Now I had only about 50 miles left to NJ, following the same road I had taken almost four months earlier.

It was a lovely day. By noon, I entered NJ. I was not in a hurry, so I accepted an invitation to take a short tour of a historic house where I had stopped to ask for some drinking water. At Little Falls, I spent some time at a street market. At about 5 p.m., I happily arrived at the home of my friends Rosemary & Robert Steinbaum.
