Great Hudson Valley Pedal, Aug 15-20

Some first-day images: From the top, our camp on the lawn of a community college near Hudson, New York. The Rip Van Winkle Bridge, two of our riders pedaling through a town, the stone house of artist Frederich Church (who, speaking locally, said that the "center of the universe" was nearby, and that "I own it.") Finally, a private home along our way.
