The day began with breakfast served up by the new owner of the Fitzwilliam Inn. It was very special to be their first and only guests (more were due in today). A nice 50 degrees out and we were on the road. It was to be a net downhill day but still lots of rolling hills. The usual 2nd breakfast on the road followed by lunch as we approached Boston. To ease back in to civilzation we stopped at Subway and each had a 12 inch sub, and finished them off.
It was time to call on the GPS to find Liz's new place and after a minute of thinking we were off following the directions. It did a great job of getting a nice path through the heart of Boston. One detour was a little painful, but a recalculation and we were back on track. About 240 miles for the last 3 days. Totals for the trip - 1,062 miles and about 23,000 feet of climbing. And too many stunning scenes along the way to count.
We finished in Jamaica Plain (Boston) with ice cream and a smoothie. A perfect end to the trip. After a shower at Liz's new place it's off soon for dinner and beer on Center St.
Definitely sleeping in tomorrow morning and then it will be time to pack up the bikes for the return trip via FedEx. Just can't wait to get back to toasty temps in Tucson :-)
Lots of good food and beer along the way. Just a fun way to travel. Met many nice people, including a number a good friends along the way, and of course saw wonderful sights. The legs are a little pooped for now!
