What a day! We started early today once again, and had about a 20 mile ride straight into Boston just in time for early Monday morning rush hour. Going through Boston was pretty cool, and it was actually the most bike friendly city we've been through. Though, the traffic did not help at all and we definitely made some wrong turns which made for some not so fun times. When we get into the big cities, Dr. Ross is on a bike and usually can go faster than me in the car because I am always stuck in traffic, so he is able to go way ahead and navigate his way out of the city and not have to sit around and wait. We actually lost each other for a while and it took almost an hour to meet back up, but we made it out ok and were on our way north into New Hampshire. The hills definitely didn't get smaller today, they got bigger. They have basically turned into small mountains, making riding even more difficult for Dr. Ross, and every time I see a big hill/mountain coming up I just know he is dreading it. But he is still making amazing time somehow even with the tough terrain he has come up against. Dr. Ross had his first lobster roll today. Lobster rolls are a pretty popular food up here in Maine, so he wanted to give it a try, and he loved it. I believe we took a picture of him with it, so pictures of the famous lobster roll to come...We are now in Wiscasset, Maine staying in a random hotel in the middle of nowhere, and lets just say...this place has seen better days....But either way, it's a place for us to lay our heads down for the night, and get up early for another day of riding. Oh yah....so we went to check in at the front office of the hotel and were telling the guy working about what we were doing. So the guy says "oh really, these two guys over here did the same thing". And there on the wall in the office is a picture of two guys that stayed at the exact same little, tiny, run down hotel in the middle of nowhere, and they had a picture of them with their bikes at the southernmost point in Key West, FL and at the northeast most point in Lubec, Maine. Pretty crazy! I believe we went another 200 miles or so today. Anyways, more tomorrow. Thanks for tuning in!
