Day 3: First Flat

Welp, got my first flat. It looks like a bit of a nail/staple pierced the tire. Thankfully the spot it happened was a great place to pull over and fix it and not the very busy road we ran into two miles later.

Hills (Mountains?)

We climbed two big lumps of earth today on our way west through the Berkshires. We knew today would have a lot more hills than we’re used to, so purposefully kept the mileage a little lower. Thankfully, the grades were mostly gentle with only a few steeper sections.

We went through some great little towns dotting the hills of Western Mass. The coffee stop was at a diner in Williamsburg, lunch in Goshen, a chocolate milk from the cow themed co-op in Cummington, a really good homemade samosa from the general store in Windsor, a flat tire in Dalton, and staying the night in Pittsfield with my Mom’s friend (Peter and Jerri).

Peter is a professional chef, so I’m looking forward to dinner!
