This is what people, with too much time on their hands, do for fun in New Hampshire.
26 miles and 2800 odd feet of climbing after work today.

On your route...If I may make a suggestion...Instead of making a left and descending down Tiorati Brook Rd-Cedar Pond Rd... Continue South on Seven Lakes and when you reach Lake Welch Parkway take the left there and descend, it's worth it...you can hit upwards of 50+, make sure you unload speed coming around the bend at the bottom or you may end up on Palisades Parkway Southbound...
From there climb Cedar Pond/Tiorati and take Seven Lakes full South to Sloatsburg....

this route is sortof tentative since ive never ridden in the harriman area, i routed to tiorati only because i saw that there are seasonal roads that close during winter, and im a sucker for that ****.
i used to ride with an aquarack on my previous bike which only had bosses for one cage, so i know where youre coming from with the 3 bottles. i go through a lot of water even when its cooler

I'm going to switch all of my bikes over to disc brake and tubeless tires and all of my cars over to rim brakes and clinchers.

Finally caught up on the thread...
Camping up north in the largest bog in the lower 48 was fun. The fishing was crap, but it was a good time to rent a trolling boat and a two person kayak. We hiked out the 1 mile elevated trail in the bog, and somehow I came away from the 2.5 mile flat land hike with super sore calves. I don't get it...
Also, to tie into the current thread topics, the campsite was full of friendly little chipmunks that would come up and take food right out of your hand if you held it out and made kissy sounds.

That's Paddington! I have been his pal for a long time, @WhyFi. Thanks for thinking of me. Annie's short little films featuring him and the rest of the bunch are masterpieces.

...I wish more people would do this. Then i could ride around town drafting cars without that nagging idea, "If this guys stops hard, I'm gonna be up, over, and on his hood as an ornament."

If you do it right, you snag a ride behind a SUV, preferably a Mitsu product. For some reason, the little overhang does a nice job of helping to pull one along. When they hit the brakes, you just go through the rear window, and make a right mess of their interior.

That reminds me of an crash my wife and I saw on the interstate. Some fellows on crotch rockets were racing along. One of them misjudged the speed an action of a Chevy Suburban that they were running up on. The crotch rocket pilot became a passenger in the suburban by entering through the rear window.
