Across America North - day 49 - Brattleboro, VT --> Manchester, NH
Today was a moderately easy 80-mile day of New Hampshire hills. The first half of the day
was some serious climbing but the second half was easy rolling hills. We're in Manchester
now and will see the Atlantic tomorrow morning. First we meet at a high school where we'll
get a police escort to the beach. After the good-byes are said, some of us will go on
another 8 miles to a hotel in Portsmouth where we'll pack our bikes for shipment, spend the
night, and go home on Tuesday. Once again I must commit my bike to the tender mercies of
FedEx.
At least one of us will spend a second night in Portsmouth and leave on Wednesday. I'll
take a C&J bus to Boston south station at about 7:00 Wednesday morning and take a train
back to Denver.
I can't imagine how my trip across the country could have been made easier. I sat very
comfortably in the lap of luxury on this trip and that's because the business of cycle
touring was handled so expertly America by Bicycle. Highly recommended.
I wanted to have a bookend tour of my trip a half lifetime ago. This one was different in
every way from that one. I was lucky to have chosen this year and to have done it with
this group.
