Murphy Hill

This morning we found the the hardest route into Cooperstown NY. A 2
mile climb up a steep hill called Murphy Hill. The locals were talking
about the 2 poor bikers they saw on the hill which we heard about at
lunch in town. We are headed over to the Baseball Hall of Fame after
dessert. Neither of us are baseball fans but it seems like the thing
you have to do when you are here............ In the last couple days
we have seen a stone fort from the Revolutionary War and toured
underground caverns. We also split the Catskill and Adirondack Mtns so
we didnt have to go over either. We had out first flat tire today. It
was my tire of course. We have been camping near municipal parks and
services since farmers have posted no tresspassing signs every few
feet. They really mean it! Finally we have been biking through
record-breaking heat here and it reached 95 degree 2 days ago. Close
to 90 degrees since then. Wowzer!

  1. Was the flat tire while biking up the 2 mile steep hill in 90 degrees? Did you ask any of the locals why they didn't throw you a rope and tow you up? That would have been fun!
