Day 14 - the last big ride day, 87 miles and 4000 feet of climbing and threat of rain. Of course, it was hot and humid. Once again, I found Dr. Richard and followed his controlled approach to long distance cycling.
Our goal was to beat the rainstorms.
I was a bit tired from the ride yesterday but soon got into a rhythm after 10 miles.
Leaving VT and entering NH, we started climbing and most of the climbing was in the first 2/3 of the ride. Great roads in NH but as we got closer to MA and Boston, traffic picked up and the last 30 miles were "interesting" especially around Burlington.
Everyone was happy the major rides were now completed. I rode for two weeks and 1200 miles to this point. The others 3400 miles. I have a tremendous amount of respect for the people who rode from LA all the to Burlington and to Boston tomorrow, 18 miles. Everyone agrees, I can walk that.
Below is the my Garmin Motionbase Database. Just click on it and you can see the stats for the ride plus a map of the the ride. It is really cool stuff.
