Welcome to the Maine Event

Saturday at about 11AM we landed at the Bar Harbor county airport and took a taxi to the bike shop. We assembled all three bikes in the gravel behind the shop in two hours, pretty impressive for non-professionals.

We then stopped at the Atlantic Ocean for the commemorative tire dipping. Using breaks on saltwater tires is a bit squeaky, be warned.
We road into Acadia National Park in the afternoon to set up camp. The Park Loop Road was absolutely beautiful, two lanes one way and ocean views all along. The roads otherwise were a little rough on the shoulders, but traffic has been decent enough to get along absolutely fine. We headed to the Jordan Pond House for some Lobstah dinnah, because what else could we do while in Maine.  Milage for Saturday only computes to twenty miles, but it was a nice travel day to start out. As mentioned, we were running on very little sleep.

Today we rode a total of 65 miles right on the nose. Currently we're sitting in the laundry room of a little campground right on the ocean, which will be a nice sound to fall asleep to. We've hit a few grocery stores along the way, including a picnic outside of Walmart for lunch. There are certainly a lot of hills out here. A bunch of short steep climbs and descents . Thankfully we had nice conditions, generally a tailwind and only about 70 degrees. Stacey cooked up a great pasta meal for tonight.

Shan made a hand-made sign to explain where we are headed.

All in all a successful day. The pictures tell it all.

Roadkill count for the day: 1 skunk, 1 unidentifiable, 1 bird
