Lake Placid
September 18, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
1932 und 1980 war Lake Placid Austragungsort der Olypischen Winterspiele und wenn man schon mal in der Nähe ist... 😉
Und als wir dort ankamen, fühlte es sich auch tatsächlich nach einem Wintersportort im Spätsommer an und es gab kleine gemütliche Restaurants und einen 'Starbucks'! Da sind wir doch glatt eine weitere Nacht geblieben :) und sind dann auch noch ein wenig durch die Läden geschlendert 🙃Read more

Day 101
Lake Placid, Ironman
July 23, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
Lawlor, der Sohn von Kristen und Mark, nimmt am Iron Man von Lake Placid (Bundesstaat New York) teil, dem früheren Austragungsort der Winterolympiade. (Fun Fact: Gleich neben den Sprungschazen von Lake Placid hat ein Orthopäden- und Prothesenzentrum eröffnet…) 😳 Wir stehen jedenfalls früh auf, frühstücken am Strassenrand, während die 2.000 Sportler 3,8km Schwimmen. Wir trinken Kaffee, während sie 180km Radfahren. Und snacken, als sie letztlich den Marathon (42km) laufen. Es ist sehr warm mit einem ordentlichen Gewitter zwischendurch. Wir haben eine sehr laute Kuhglocke und machen eine menge Krach. Lawlor und seine Kumpel Kevin, Brandon und Ben brauchen zwischen 10:22 Stunden und 15:30 Stunden. Allerhöchsten Respekt vor dieser unglaublichen Kraftanstrengung. Und dieser Willensstärke!!! Am nächsten Tag geht’s zurück nach Bristol, Rhode Island. Teils in Sonne, teils in heftigem Regen.

Lawlor, Kristen and Mark's son, competes in the Ironman at Lake Placid, New York State, the former Winter Olympics venue. (Fun fact: an orthopedic and prosthesis center has opened right next to the ski jumps of Lake Placid...) 😳 We get up very early, have breakfast on the side of the road while the 2,000 athletes swim 3.8 km. We drink coffee while they bike 180km. And snack when they finally run the marathon (42km). It's very warm with a decent thunderstorm in between. We have a very loud cowbell and make a lot of noise. Lawlor and his buddies Kevin, Brandon and Ben take between 10:22 hours and 15:30 hours. The utmost respect for this unbelievable effort. And that willpower!!! The next day it's back to Bristol, Rhode Island. Partly in the sun, partly in heavy rain.Read more

Day 22
Lake Placid
August 16, 2016 in the United States ⋅ 🌧 19 °C
After Albany, the rain continued with vengeance and as we entered the Adirondacks the temperature dropped below 20 for the first time since we arrived. Driving through the Adirondacks was unbelievable though, and as the rain eased it was warm enough that it rose off the trees, creating a beautiful scenic drive. Sadly the high ropes course we had hoped to go on had sent out their last group by the time we arrived, so we carried on driving reaching over 2000ft above sea level. We spent the evening wandering around mirror lake and enjoying the comforts of our hotel, whilst planning how to make the most of tomorrow...and enjoying a few beers ☺Read more

Über den Highway 3 geht es quer durch die Landschaft. Vieles sieht ärmlich aus, auch in Newton Falls, wo wir eine kleine Kaffeepause einlegen. Dafür gibt es in Natural Bridge einen riesigen Friedhof an dem wir bestimmt 1/2 Meile entlangfahren. Göttergattin vermutet schon, das sei der einzige in den Adirondack :-)

Den Cranberry Lake haben wir rechts liegen lassen, dafür einen Blick auf die Goose Bucht am Tupperlake geworfen bevor es nach Lake Placid (1980 & 1932!) geht. An dem Willkommensbären kamen wir dann nicht vorbei.... Der Rest ist schnell erzählt: alpines Dorf mit jeder Menge Touristen, ziemlich überlaufen und den 'üblichen' Geschäften für Souvenirs, Klamotten, etc.Read more

It was a very foggy morning, fun watching the mist clear over the lake. The guys were flying today! Their legs may be tired, but are strong as they pushed higher mph averages. We arrived by 11:30 today, the first time we finished before 1! Roger sliced up some juicy watermelon and cantaloupe! We were hoping to arrive early as a friend of LifeCycles-Pete and Marian Dimmig live at Lake Saranac and Pete gave tours in his boat around the lake and allowed the boys to do some swimming. Then we went to the Lake Placid ski jump facility, wow! I’ve got a much greater appreciation for ski jumping now. Finally Pete took us to a BBQ place, tasty! We finished our night with devotions on the topic of iron sharpening iron.

FP update 7/25 and 7/26 Lake Placid

Since Michael has been intrigued with the Olympic sport of Curling for a while, we had an opportunity to learn and play in Lake Placid. It was fun and a little harder than we expected. Give those professional Curlers a little more credit 😜

Next day we visited the Olympic Jumping Complex (1980 Winter Olympics). Like we saw in Park City, UT a few years back, the ski jumping into a pool is pretty wild to watch 😎 🎿 When thinking of Lake Placid the Winter Olympics, you can’t help remembering the Miracle on Ice - US Men’s hockey 🏒 team beat the Soviet Union 💪🏻💜 The facility where this took place is where we did the curling.Read more
Nice form Michael. I think??? [Jim Johnson]

Working On My Routes
August 27, 2021 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 72 °F
Picking up on yesterday, I continued south to Massachusetts to get the state's 50 Rides 1 Nation stop. What a great road! Best of all, you don't have to backtrack almost 7 miles after making the summit. I came in from the north, and if you exit from south then you pop out only five miles or so from the Harley dealership.

From there, I continued on towards Albany to collect a few more dealerships, then swung back north to get to the hotel at about 20:00. It was a really nice day of riding.

I hit the hotel, did a little bathroom thing, changed shirts, then walked a few blocks north to the Pickled Pig for the rally cornhole tournament. Not surprising it was over before I got there because there were only four teams. But cornhole was the only evening event scheduled for the rally 😳😭. I talked to a couple nice people and then went back to the hotel to crash.

Yay! I did not have to get up when my alarm went off because my alarm did not go off, but I still woke up at 07:00. [Why is there not a poo emoji with a frowny face?!]

I'm working on my routes now.

So long [for now], and thanks for all the fish! ✌️
