A good day of riding after a good night's rest at the Mount Blue Motel in Farmington. Good folks to chat with along the way today. Thank you for your interest it is encouraging!
Today we did ot take many breaks, just short ones and a short lunch. The day was beautiful in the high 70s, low 80s with the humidity it was hot though. We continued on route 2 through towns like New Sharon, Skowhagen, Palmyra, and Newport. Traffic was steady but the shoulders were mostly wide so it was fine. The shoulder east of Newport was thin but so was traffic as the route paralleled interstate 95.
Marcee got bit by some kind of bug on her forehead. She thought it was a bee at first but probably wasn't. It was scary as she threw her helmet off and drifted into the lane fortunately nothing was coming.
Tomorrow my Mom is flying into Bangor and she was drive the car with us to Bar Harbor so we can both ride into Bar Harbor probably Thursday morning!
