2015 Intro
- June 1, 2015Thanks to improved internet connection, I am adding photos to my previous blogs:Continue reading →
- June 2, 2015Last night in East Windsor, Peter Murphy, brother of Nancy I., treated us to wine and cheese – it was a perfect evening for this treat after such a cold day on the road. (Sorry the photo is less than perfect.) Our ride start today was delayed until 10 am, hoping for some relief from the ...Continue reading →
- June 3, 2015After I posted last night, I received this photo, taken before the intrepid group departed in the cold and rain on Tuesday. I think Lesley from Australia is the only one missing from this photo that also rode yesterday. We celebrated crossing into Connecticut and into Massachusetts with “adult lemonade” last night – since the ...Continue reading →
- June 4, 2015It was nice to see the sun this morning when it was time to ride, although it went into hiding for much of the day, but luckily no rain! We had some difficulty getting started leaving Sturbridge Host Hotel, as the traffic light did not recognize any of our lightweight bikes, so we skirted across 4 ...Continue reading →
- June 5, 2015This will be short and sweet, just so everyone knows that I am alive and well and in the 13th state along the Atlantic Coast. Our hotel has no internet service so I am using the hotspot on my phone – no photos, just a quick summary of the day. We started the morning having to ...Continue reading →

- June 6, 2015The cue/clue sheet was for 46.5 miles, I rode 57.68 miles – and loved every one of them! The morning started a bit cloudy and gray, but that didn’t affect my excitement at biking along the coast. The first 7 miles were in Hampton Beach and North Hampton, NH, before heading inland at Rye Beach. Part of ...Continue reading →
- June 8, 2015Our riding group expanded today as May Toms from CCST13 joined Gail, Wendy, Marilyn B., and I to bike from Kennebunk to Freeport. We were headed inland, away from the coast, and were warned about hills. The landscape was quite green, forests, small farms, few towns (the population of the state of Maine is less ...Continue reading →
- June 8, 2015No bike riding today – and sadly no massage. I hope the rest day means my climbing legs will cooperate better the next 3 days?! Leisurely breakfast after 8 am, wrote some notes, cleaned my bike, then headed out to explore the shops around 11 am. No real agenda, and no schedule until evening. The hotel has ...Continue reading →
- June 10, 2015No photos, just a quick summary of the day: Overcast skies with rain threatening, and fog. A little drizzle in the morning, some soft rain early afternoon, but could have been much worse – it did turn cooler when the rain came. And the hills were manageable, albeit slow to climb. Our route took us through Brunswick, ...Continue reading →
