Day 1: Prologue to Canada Lake

On Sunday, May 27th We will start the journey from Brian's house at 17 Greenlea Drive, Clifton Park NY 12065.  Brian is racing a little Duathlon in Saratoga Springs at 8am, therefore the we will leave Clifton Park about 1200.  We will cover the 58 miles out to Canada lake in about 3 hours, riding routes that Brian often trains on when home.  alhtough this is the shortest leg of the journey, it actually has the most climbing because Western New York is so flat (check out the elevation charts included).  We plan to meet my family and the Muller family at the Muller cabin on Canada Lake & enjoy our afternoon/ evening out there.  Mrs. Muller has let friends and I stay up there multiple times now, and we really can't thank her enough for making this trip possible.  The location on Canada lake, which is at the very South-West corner of the Adirondaks, means we barely have to venture off of the Erie canal (our guiding body of water out to Buffalo/Niagra Falls) for our first and last days of traveling!  This first day will be a good chek for Rylan and I into how we want to situate our gear, what exactly we need to bring, etc
