Day 4 of our Montauk to Niagara ride, from Peekskill to Accord, in the foothills of the Catskills, was by far the most challenging to date. Those who never leave Long Island may be shocked to hear this, but there places in the rest of the world where the crust of the earth goes up and down and up and down - sometimes with shocking abruptness and regularity - as I discovered to my horror! Still, I "gutted it out" (sounds like a fishing term, no?) - sometimes (oh, Shame!) beside the bike as well as on top of it - and did finally (around 6:30) arrive at our final destination, the house in Accord of John's former college roommate Bob, his wife Aileen and their 5-year old son Jose.
