During Spring 2015, a group of friends and I will be touring the entire east coast from Key West, Florida to Bar Harbor, Maine, approximately 2,500 miles in total, following the Atlantic Coast route created by the Adventure Cycling Association. This will be a self contained fully loaded bike tour which means I'll be carrying around 45 lbs. or so. I'm looking forward to experiencing the east coast like never before. With this blog, I plan to post pictures as we progress using the BlogPress APP on my mobile phone. Let's see how it goes and wish me luck. On a bike tour such as this, our daily challenges and not necessarily in this order, will be our physical condition, food, shelter, traffic, navigation, and weather. The above picture was taken during my Southern Tier crossing of the U.S. in spring of 2008. Bike touring requires a specific mind set and a passion.

Freeport to Waldoboro

A cool day riding to Waldoboro, about 52 miles with 3,500 feet of gain, under dark cloudy skies with a change for rain which never came. Lucky for us! Lots of steep rollers today riding through the countryside away from the coast. Highlights for the day include our breakfast at the Village Inn (in Freeport) where the owner kept us intrigued and entertained, the Saturday open air market we happened upon near Brunwick, and the lobster roll from the hugely popular Red's Eats in Wiscasset. We hear about Red's Eats while in Freeport. It was gooood!
