#1 | After Debbie passed thru.... datum

Mon Aug 19, 2024 11:18 pm

The week before last, I was feeling a bit a bored and the Tropical Storm had passed thru, leaving several days of decent weather in the forecast. So, I decided to visit my sister in northern Vermont on the bike. The trip up took me around the north side of the Adirondacks on NY Route 3. The return trip was on the south side of the Adirondacks via NY Route 8. Both were 480~490-mile days and I only had rain for ~50-miles on the way up.

The bike ran okay, but it definitely needs its 48K service. Acceleration is sluggish and throttle roll-off is more abrupt than I recall. Either the air or fuel filters are limiting fueling.

Did you go by Cranberry Lake?
Debbie has passed through there several times :)

I didn't stop, but that would have been one of many I went by. All in all, both 3 and 8 are nice routes. Large RV traffic was a bit annoying on 3.

The forestry school I went to is on Cranberry Lake at Wanakena.
Wanakena is 9 miles SW of the town of Cranberry Lake.
