Well, I made it to Maine, Wells Beach to be exact. I've never been to Maine so I'm very excited, especially not having seen the Atlantic Ocean since my 2009 bike tour thru Jacksonville, Florida. I splurged on an oceanfront motel with off-season rates and even braved the seafood. Unfortunately, although I keep trying, I don't really like seafood.
To continue my last post; the rest of New York was pleasant. I took the time to stop at Franklin D. Roosevelt's home in Hyde Park. Not knowing much about him it inspired me to do some reading on this important president and Eleanor.
The next few states went by quickly. I spent two days riding thru the mountains/hills of Connecticut. Climbed one hill and ate lunch in Rhode Island (only 6.5 miles), and then had a very pleasant jaunt into Massachusetts. I really liked this state with its good roads and lots of small parks and natural areas. I'm definitely in a more outdoor oriented (and winter) environment as many more Subaru and four-wheel drive vehicles are on the roadways. New Hampshire was also quick. The roads were busier and not as well paved, but I'll give the state another chance in a few days as I begin my westward journey.
So the rain arrives here tonight. For the next day and a half I will continue riding northeast and then turn westward. The last 1,000 miles...
