On the Road to Gloucester




After breakfast at the University of New Hampshire dining facility, we headed south towards Gloucester.  The day began cool but clear for a perfect start.  Since we knew each others riding habits, Tom and I decided to stay together and avoid large groups of riders to minimize the possibility of any last day accident.  Of course I ran over a pot hole about 10 miles into the ride and had my 6th and last flat of the trip.  Fortunately there was no other damage and we were shortly back on our way with a pump assist from Bill the router.  At mile 40 we missed the turnoff to lunch so we continued on until we found a McDonalds.  We were back into the fast-food burger and fries for lunch a day sooner than we thought we would be.  I took these self portraits while riding on the bike about 15 miles out from Gloucester as we were counting down the miles.
