Day 10 - Back on the road again

Today actually turned out to be another wonderful day of riding.  We decided to get an early start today because we had about 66 miles that we had to cover.  When we awoke at 6:00, the skies were clear and we had some winds blowing, but it turned out to be a great day.  There was a lot of debris on the side of the road that we had to watch out for and there were a couple roads that were closed due to fallen trees and power lines and poles and we had to navigate around things, but things went surprisingly well.  I am getting more used to the riding routine and I am sure that I am getting stronger and it just seems to be going better for me to get through the day.  I did get another flat tire today.  I think I am leading the group in flats.  I did dig the culprit out of the tire.  It was a triangle shapped piece of metal that I picked up from somewhere. We are now in Littleton, Massachusetts.  New Hampshire went by pretty fast.  We rode through just the corner of it.  Littleton is located about 40 miles outside of Boston.

After two nights in the hotel, I am not looking forward to the tent tonight.  It was nice to have the bed.  I have a hard time getting comfy in the tent.  I pretty much have to be exhausted.  I am sending a picture of my home away from home.  I purchased a single person, lightweight tent for this trip and wish I would have sprung for a two man tent.  It really is pretty small and allows no room to store my panniers when things are wet.  All of the people I am traveling with have two man tents and they work a lot better.

We are heading into Boston on the train in the morning so we will not be riding.  I am excited to see the city.  I will let you know how that tour goes tomorrow.
