Biking - Mohawk River loop, loaded

It's been over a month since I last rode with all the packed bags on the bike, so it seemed like a good idea to do it again. I've been tweaking the packing list, and will continue to do so up until the last minute, when the bike and bags ship to the West Coast on June 22.

Today, I biked from Schenectady to Amsterdam and back, a 32-mile mostly flat loop along the Mohawk River. I had done this same loop in late April, but it was much easier today without the strong winds I had then.
