**Day 32...... BOSTON to HOME

Beat the rain was the goal.  And by literally minutes they were into the driveway after a straight through very hilly ride.  Awesomeness

**Day 31....from Kittery to Boston

It started beautiful, it ended with pizza, in between it hurt like hell. A lot of broken roads, stop and go, and roundabouts.

Day 30. Arrived in Portland.

The final stop for part one of the Final Frontier bike ride.   Taylor is now off for some much needed relaxing with her family, while Thomas and Papa Howie will be joined by Todd and Tommy and tomorrow Nick will be joining. 

Day 29.

Today we set out from mountain pines, and rolled over the foothills of the white mountains all day, which was quite a tiring ride. We ended up at the Ossipee lake camping area, which is seasonal camping only. The owner was kind enough to let us stay at his backup singular tent site, which was beautiful.

Day 28

we set out from the warm shower with a vengeance, climbing over 2 whole mountains before settling in at the mountain pines campground. It was a hard day of riding, but very rewarding to get closer to Portland

Day 27. Montpelier to Burlington

It was beautiful. We rode from Grand Isle to Montpelier, making a rather lovely stop in Burlington VT. Our trip included a ferry across a distance of a whopping 15 feet, and some incredible bike paths; some incredibly good, others incredibly poor. Spent the night at a "warm showers" hosted yard.  Very very nice couple Gretta And Jacob.

Day 26. Montreal to Vermont


It was sad to leave Montreal, but being back in the States is pretty nice! We had a long day, getting back over the border, making up for a bit of our rain day in the process. Riding 78 miles was not easy, but the conditions were mostly flat, and the final campground was well worth the push. We ate canned food for dinner, heated over a fire made of twigs gathered from the surrounding woods.
