At 6:00 a.m. I thought I was off to an early start with a jump on the traffic, but then, 35 miles down the road, oops! I realized I left my laundry hanging on the shower curtain rod. Back I went to retrieve it. My second start was 8:00 a.m. (Sigh)

I encountered rain off and on all day. The first was at Scranton, then on I-87 North. I had the rain suit on and off most of the day. The ride from Bennington to Brattleboro was rainy with fog at the higher elevations. It’s a beautiful ride when it’s sunny, but not in the fog. Finally it rained from Claremont, NH to Sunapee.

There were a lot of bikes on the road today. Everyone is heading for Americade.

I wonder what the connection is between Uncle Sam and Troy, NY. I’ll have to look it up. I have limited internet access here, so the pictures will go up the next opportunity I get to connect my laptop. I’m not sure what access I’ll have in Canada with my air card.

I’m staying with my in-laws this evening. My father-in-law will transport my new tires to Lebanon in the morning to have them put on. I’ll get an oil change as well. Then it’s on to Canada.

Grantville, PA to Sunapee, NH – 507 miles

Lunch break.

What's the connection between Uncle Sam and Troy, NY?

No-rain in Bennington, but just wait a mile or two. Rain and fog all the way to Brattleboro.
