Northern Tier Day #4 May 23, 2019 Conway, NH to North Haverhill, NH 62 Miles Ride Time 5:28 Tour Total 303 Miles details at: https://cyclemeter.com/058ffe3224dd3702/Cycle-20190523-0945-78541 Last night I slept well in my room on the second floor of the White Mountains Hostel. I was so tired that not only could I not finish my blog post, I was unable to finish my beer. In the morning, I could hear people talking downstairs and the light was coming through my window. It was time to get up. But what a slow start. I spent an hour laying in bed editing and posting yesterday’s report. My first stop was Bea’s Cafe, where I had the #1 - eggs, toast, and home fries. I drank two cups of orange juice. I was trying to get myself psyched for the Kank, the first challenging pass on the Northern Tier. In comparison to the TransAm, the Kank is like Afton Mountain. I left Bea’s and set out on the road at 9:45am. I really overdid it yesterday and needed to be rested for this clim...

Northern Tier Day #2 Belfast, ME to Brunswick, ME

Northern Tier Day #2 May 21, 2019 Belfast, ME to Brunswick, ME - 84 Miles Ride Time 7:45 Tour Total 148 Miles details at: https://cyclemeter.com/058ffe3224dd3702/Cycle-20190521-0800-26718 I slept great last night at the Yankee clipper. My alarm clock woke me at 6:45, and the sun was already bright outside. I quickly packed all my gear and rode down the hill and over the old bridge into Belfast, a gorgeous little fishing town on Penobscot bay. I’d been to Belfast several times, but this was the first time I had traversed the old, now pedestrian, bridge to the shipyard and center of town. The sky was crystal clear. I didn’t recognize the Yankee clipper yesterday when I pulled into the lot. There was a new sign and landscaping. It had been renovated and wasn’t as I remembered. Last night when I was turning out the lights, I was terrified to see bugs crawling everywhere. Same old Yankee clipper. I hope none of those critters hitched a ride with me. Breakfast was at ...
