Day Two

Today was just incredibly difficult. 96 miles, from Wells, ME to Littleton, MA. We're staying with a friend of Jason's. He made us three hamburgers each for when we got here and gave us beds and a shower. What a guy.

Let me tell you, 96 miles wouldn't be too bad, BUT this was basically through the mountains of New Hampshire. And into a headwind for almost the entire way. Plus, we had to take a handful of detours, 12 miles worth of detours all told. One road was closed, and 2 other times we had to take major detours to avoid bike paths.

Oh, the bike paths. GoogleMaps really likes the bike paths on bike directions. However, they're dirt and meant for mountain bikes. Why would anyone looking for bike directions be on a mountain bike? Doesn't make any sense, but it's a pain. It's hard to catch them all, and so we have to deal with them as they come.

In better news, we fixed our bags up with duct tape, and they only "fell off" once the entire day. Success. We also crossed two state boarders, which was pretty cool.

Anyways, I'm mega tired so I'm headed to bed. Again, a donations page for Make a Wish will be up soon.

Day Three: Amherst, MA
