After so many riders not riding yesterday, Bettye said she was going to lock the van! They must have believed her because everybody rode today and we started the day with a 12 mile hill. We climbed Kancamagus Pass. A long climb through White Mountain Forest with a rocky, running stream paralleling the road. Beautiful! What goes up.....we then had a most exhilarating down hill for miles! Our day was almost half over at the bottom.
We had a sag stop and as soon as we left it started raining. As soon as it started raining I had a flat tire. After fixing it we went up the road and there was Pat with a flat tire. A bit further down the road there was Bev J with a blow-out! 3 flats within 3 miles-yuk. As soon as we entered Maine-it stopped raining and we saw sun the rest of the day. Bev saw 2 more flats!
The rest of the day was challenge along some hard up and down roads. We rode by Highland Lake and Highland Golf Course and wished we could have been in the water or on the tee rather than fight the hills!
We are staying at a really neat motel. We had our last Margaritas this eve and while eating dinner we got rained on to end a perfect day.
Off to Bath, Maine tomorrow. Lots of hills we were told. I thought Maine was flat!
Bye for now........Donna
