From Bear Mountain to Rheinbeck, NY

Our destination today after 50 miles was the Linwood Catholic Center near Rheinbeck, NY. Ten miles before we were at the FDR memorial park in Hyde Park. We could not miss this opportunity to tour his home and learn more about FDR and his family so we stayed behind to takes the tour. One goes away from this experience knowing that he was always an optimist, even when strickened with polio.
The Center has a serene setting overlooking the Hudson River. After dinner many of us just went outside to enjoy the view and relax before getting ready for tomorrow's ride to the big city of Albany. This is certainly a moment in time to remember.
