Goodbye Ohio; Hello Indiana

Last night we slept at a couple's house in BFE Ohio. Their house was on the edge of a corn field. We arrived after a long, wet day to find a pony keg of beer and many home-cooked dishes.

Today we left from Bar Harbor, Maine around 9:30 am after taking photos on the beach. This trip has not felt like a reality for me up until this point. After the first 5 or so miles I realized I could . . . → Read More: Day 1

Orientation

Today was the first day riding since arriving in Maine yesterday. After orientation Michael, Liz and I took a practice ride up Cadillac Mountain.
