What I Did On My Summer Vacation
719.57 miles by bicycle.
346.36 miles across six days from Boston to Montreal, with an average rolling speed of 12.5mph. Four full days of riding, two half days.
Three days and four nights in Montreal (including 16.65 miles of random riding around while there).
356.56 miles across six days from Montreal to Boston, with an average rolling speed of 13.1mph. Three full days of riding, three half days.
Countless breath-taking scenes of river valleys, waterfalls, mountain vistas, covered bridges, villages, plains, farms, cows, sheep, horses, hawks, herons, chipmunks, and one very out-of-place catfish. Thousands of feet of slow, difficult climbing, and about the same amount of screaming down the other side of the mountain at un-recommended speeds. Some social-visits with folks we don't get to see enough. A lot of time just the two of us on deserted rural roads.
Some sore parts, some chafed bits, but mostly a whole lot of feeling really, really awesome.
Fifteen full days of what might very likely be the best vacation palmwiz and I have ever taken together.
And now, we're home. Yay!!
