It was early June in Adirondacks, quiet roads and temperature in mid teens. Perfect for going up the mountain. Nature is waking up from the long winter with blooming trees and refreshing smell of pine. Be on a lookout for white tail deer and moose as they are roaming through the area. You will be warm hustling up the mountain but bring good wind breaker, hat and full finger gloves for downhill. You will be easy going 70 km/h, it will be cold. Bring food and water as there is nothing on the way. Treat yourself, once in Wilmington, with local brew and pizza at ADK Pizza&Pasta. You earned it! Happy riding and see you out there.
