Well as much as I had the command of Lafayette yesterday (or really good pancakes), today was mucho different.  We had a good night at the motel.  It was a small no frill place but clean and room for bikes....don't get no better.  When I went to get in the shower, I had a spike pain in my left shin.  Definitely from my lower back.  So extra stretches this morning.  Even the stretching got it to fire a bit.  Barb just had the standard stuff, no problems.

Then I knew we would be climbing, but I didn't know it would be that much.  We had been climbing hills all along the way, but not steep hills for over 3 miles.  I pushed my bike over 2.5 miles today.  one push was over 1.5 miles.  But, at the end of the day, we were alive and still talking to each other.  So here are the pics of today.

Starting of fall colors in Granby Connecticut.  lots of fall colors pics to follow in days to come....just warning ya

Stopped on a bridge going into Pleasant Valley.  probably shouldn't have stopped on bridge, but cool pics.  When the big trucks came by the whole bridge shook!!!!! 

And they did come by

Look who else I found on the bridge
