Todays ride

Here are some pictures of my ride today from Northampton to Goshen, MA. 40 miles.

I think this is a Maple tree and they are getting the sap to make maple syrup. There are a lot of 'sugar shacks' around where they process the sap and sell the syrup. I passed a couple and all this black smoke was coming out of the chimmneys. Vermont is pretty close and it seems all the maple syrup is from Vermont in the stores. I have gone through about 4 bottles in the past 2 months. Good stuff.

Here is a house that was really old. They like to put dates on everything around here. Bridges and houses and stuff. This house was from 1788 - I know, it really wasnt the house number :) 220 years old! I bet its haunted.

And here is a self portrait while riding. Nice day.
