Maine!

It's hard to believe we're actually in Maine. Vermont and New Hampshire were short and sweet. Pretty much exactly what you would expect - nice people and green hills. What you may not expect are some of the steepest climbs of the entire route. Today we conquered Kancamagus Pass in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. It was cold, foggy and rainy but we pedaled hard, determined to reach Maine.

We're about 195 miles from our final destination, Bar Harbor. At 65 miles per day we should arrive Saturday night. We'll update again soon, but now it's time to replenish our bodies.

Trivia: What is the location of the fastest wind ever recorded? (Not including tornadoes)

Welcome to Maine!

Don't forget, our invitation is still open for a delicious home cooked meal and a chance to ride a couple of miles with my daughter. We're just a couple of hours south of Bar Harbor in Brunswick, Me.!

Great job you guys!

Congratulations on making it to Maine! Fantastic! Tell fellow commentor "gary" from Brunswick to eat a cookie or a piece of chocolate cake for me from Wild Oats Bakery. Mason knows what I'm talking about.
