Arrived at Caspian Lake!

Two years ago at the locker room after masters swim practice, my friend Lucy Mitchell was telling me about her month long vacation at her family property on Caspian Lake, Vermont. She said you should come visit when I go back in two years and I said sure, we can do a biking trip in the northeast and stop by at the lake house. That was the seed for the idea of this trip and today we arrived at our destination. It was not an easy day, Vermont is hilly, and the forecast was saying 100% chance of rain. We started by having breakfast at the local diner in Enosburg Falls, the winds (due to hurricane) were strong and they were mostly headwinds. The terrain was very hilly, not many cars early on but got busier later. We stopped for a snack in Johnson and when we came around 12:45 it was raining heavy, but the winds had stopped. The Ortlieb panniers and our water proof jackets kept our things dry and us warm. Steve got a flat tire, which we fixed under the light rain but we could not find the offending item, a few miles later got a second one, this time we found the small piece of glass. By then the rain had stopped and we found our way to Greensboro by climbing a long hill. We were pretty tired by then and we had to go on a dirt road around the lake. Steve said there should not be any more hills, to make me feel better but as usual there were a few more steep and short. When I was ready to give up we got to the north end of the lake and were very happy to see Lucy, Doug and Pel waiving at us from the porch.
The place is gorgeous. We will say more about it in the next two days when we will have a chance to explore it.
