took a co-worker yesterday and pre-rode Saturdays route, it was cloudy in the morning but we expected it to burn off....


as we headed out Rt2 we found a 20 mile stretch of construction




after we cleared the construction we found open roads with some color but not much for this time of year


crossing the french king bridge about 1 hr into our ride, lots of ominous looking clouds in the direction we are going


we took a break and walked back onto the bridge. looks much better on a sunny day.

[naitram]

leaving french king bridge we continued west found a lane closure had planned on using that ramp 


a 9 mile detour and we were back on track even saw some blue skies





then it was gone



as we rose in elevation we got more fog

[naitram]

we got down into north adams MA


and worked our way over to the road to get up my greylock



the road up was wet and cover with leaves, i hope this drys out before sat......



as we went up the we found the fog














the fog at the top

we decided to grab a coffee at the summit and warm up a bit, as we were leaving the lodge we saw a hiker whos dog stuck its face in a porcupine 

we stayed to assist in the quill removal the dog was not happy with the removal process

after the dog was set we were ready to hit the road still foggy...


the ride down was wet as well








but wait is that the sun 

[naitram]

we made our way back to north adams for lunch, the bad weather was finally behind us





stopping for gas, our lunch destination in front of us


after lunch we started the ride back




dry roads and partly sunny












last shot on the camera.....

Do you have your camera mounted somewhere on the bike? From the angle of the pics it seems hard to believe you'd be holding your camera around your lower calf and doing manual shots. Are they taken manually?

Thanks

PS: I hope you have better weather on Saturday.

So you either have a very large memory card or you turn it on and off from time to time?

[naitram]

32 GB card, it can take pics for about 3 1/2 hours before the battery dies

I remember getting gas there and trying to have lunch at that restaurant but it was closed.
