5/29/16 New Paltz, NY to Lakeville, CT 54 miles 2,625 Elevation gain

Although we rode only 54 miles, beginning and ending with bike paths, we had 2,625 elevation gain within 32 miles, maximum grade 10%. Temps maxed out in the low 90's, cooler than yesterday. There was a detour on the route with a bridge out, so we ended up with some bonus miles. We crossed the Hudson River Bridge, a very high bridge with a spectacular view!
