It was a beautiful day for riding today! Cool temperatures, sunny skies, beautiful scenery including the Green Mountains of Vermont. The leaves are starting to turn. Highway 15 had moderate traffic as did Highway 2 in the Eastern part of Vermont.
I met a touring cyclist today in Danville, VT - Joe, who left New York City in early June and had traveled into Canada and now was swinging back through Vermont to visit friends and then back to New York. I got several comments on my yellow shirt today - one woman said she loved it and another that she thought I was working construction.
The only blip today was taking a wrong turn using my homemade directions around St. Johnsbury. We found ourselves about 7 miles off course and then drove on ahead a little past Conway, Vermont.
To end the day we followed the Connecticut river. It was dusk and the White Mountains to the East had a pinkish hue above them which was reflected in the river. It was beautiful even though it was a little bit late to finish the day. It was exciting to enter our 11th state!
