Northern Tier Day #5 North Haverhill, NH to Rochester, VT

Northern Tier Day #5 May 24, 2019 North Haverhill, NH to Rochester, VT 74 Miles Ride Time 5:28 Tour Total 377 Miles details at: https://cyclemeter.com/058ffe3224dd3702/Cycle-20190524-0717-37757 I slept well last night inside my tent on the lawn besides the pond at the River Meadow campground in North Haverhill. The flowing sound from the pond’s fountain made things rather urgent this morning. Throughout the night I couldn’t distinguish between the fountain and the rain. Fortunately it wasn’t raining when I got up. My Hubba two-person tent is way better than the one-person tent I toured with last summer. It’s spacious inside, and I have both front and rear ‘porches’ to store my bags and helmet. The soggy tent weighed considerably more this morning after the rain. The end of my sleeping bag was also damp. I hate packing up wet gear, and wasn’t looking forward to crawling back into it at the end of the day. As I pedaled through town I saw kids waiting for the schoo...

Northern Tier Day #6 May 25, 2019 Rochester, VT to North Hudson, NY 72 Miles Ride Time 6:37 Tour Total 448 Miles details at: https://cyclemeter.com/058ffe3224dd3702/Cycle-20190525-0642-60658 I woke up at 5:45am in the backyard of Green Mountain Cyclery, which was totally fogged in. There was dew on the grass and all over my tent. I once again had to pack a damp sleeping bag and a soaking wet tent. It took me about an hour to get ready, and I got a 6:45am start, the earliest departure so far on the tour. Scott and Eileen from the TransGang would have been in their tent for another four hours. The fog was hanging low in the valley so I turned on all my lights for safety. It was cold, and my fingers were freezing. I hate stopping, so I just dealt with it. Since I’m Jewish while I’m in the state of Vermont (to be in solidarity with my Brooklyn brother Bernie Sanders), I’m observing Shabbos today. I hope that Yahweh doesn’t mind that I’m using pedal power. Cracking o...
