Today marks the 4th anniversary of when Patricia and I met at La Indita for dinner. That was 10 countries and 13 states ago :-) We're looking forward to many more bike adventures together.
Today's ride was 69 miles from Gardiner to Bingham, Maine. The weather has finally broken a bit and it was much more pleasant. 64 at the start this morning and didn't get past the low 80's. It should continue to get cooler as we go on.
Lots of very nice scenery along the route today from rivers and lakes and our first view of the mountains of Maine. Some nice farms as well, although the aromatic waves from a few of the hog and dairy farms just about knocked us off the bike!
We found a nice motel (there's one) in Bingham with a pool, hot tub, and wifi. They can also get you whatever ammo you need :-) The owner was touched that it was our anniversary and gave us a bottle of sparkling cider and 2 glasses. Very sweet.
We're currently 65 miles from the Canadian border and 160 miles from Quebec City. The goal is to get to QC in 2 days and then spend 2 nights there. We'll be off early in the morning and try to get in close to 100 miles tomorrow. Looking forward to a cool morning. 72 outside right now and it's wonderful.
I am very happy for you both ... both the 4 years and your current tour. It is easy to tell who writes the journal entry of the day ... ride details/Steve; food details/Patricia. Happy trails.
