Northern Tier Day #31 June 20, 2019 Royalton, MN to Pine River, MN 89 Miles Ride Time 6:09 Tour Total 2483 Miles details at: https://cyclemeter.com/058ffe3224dd3702/Cycle-20190620-0829-07245 I slept well last night in Sam’s daughter Ella’s room. I woke up right before my 7am alarm. My sweater was dry and smelled great. My gloves smelled great. The second half of the tour was off to a fresh start. We didn’t overdo it last night, which was a good thing. My teeth got a good flossing last night. Unfortunately it had been a while. Cleanliness level #1 is my goal. I enjoyed a nice coffee and morning conversation with Sam, and then he drove me back to Scotty’s Log Bar in Royalton. It was sad to say goodbye. He had a busy day scheduled in court. After Sam dropped me off I reassembled my bike within minutes. I left a little Erie Canal Towpath dust in the back of Sam’s car for good measure. I had put an official Rusty Crank sticker at the intersection of US Highway 10 an...

Northern Tier Day #3 Brunswick, ME to Conway, NH

Northern Tier Day #3 May 22, 2019 Brunswick, ME to Conway, NH 93 Miles Ride Time 9:45 Tour Total 241 Miles details at: https://cyclemeter.com/058ffe3224dd3702/Cycle-20190522-0747-51116 I slept great last night at Alicia and Henry’s large rec room above their garage. I slept on a sofa bed with two blankets, a comforter, and my sleeping bag. It gets really cold here at night, and I needed to recharge from the frigid day out in the wind. I stayed up until midnight editing and publishing yesterday’s post. For some reason all my photos were appearing upside down on the Crazy Guy site (I publish there and on Blogger). Then it occurred to me to flip the photos upside down before I uploaded them. Problem solved. Extra work. Oh, and I’m remembering all the little tricks to thwart the bugs on Blogger as well. This blog is being published from my iPhone with my right thumb. This morning I had breakfast with Henry. I cooked myself some farm fresh eggs mixed with beans and torti...
