Day 8 - Poughkeepsie, NY

June 18, 2008 | 4:27 pm

Here’s a quick update from the Vassar College library.  We are now in New York!  After leaving Pittsfield, MA this morning, we crossed the border into New York about 10 miles in.  Today was a long day, 80ish miles.  Tomorrow is a build day, so we get to stay here for two nights, and it’s a welcome relief as the last few days of riding have been really tough.

This is just a quick pit-stop for us; our host location is still a few miles away, but one of the people I was riding with today, Lindsay, goes to Vassar, so she led us on a small detour here to the library to check email before rolling into the host location.

More updates later.

Hey Jo,

Awesome! Poughkeepsie actually isn’t far from where I live, either. I’m down a few miles in Westchester county :)
