Mapping Mega Miles Through Maine



Yesterday morning began in York, ME. haha... Sounds more like an invitation than a city. It's like an old sea town... With all the colonial architecture, twisty turnny roads and killer gardens, it of reminded me of Bucks County if it was by the ocean instead of the Delaware River.

On the drive out if town, I saw some re-enactors re-enacting.. getting set up for York Days where the whole town time warps to the late 1700's. 2 women and a man were dressed in colonial era garb and working a loom on the lawn of a big, old building. I didn't get my camera out in time for a photo... :(

The route was initially to follow the coast directly, but there were so many quaint tourist towns where traffic backed up for miles due to pedestrians in the crosswalk, the route changed to the most direct route 295->95->3 ... and boy did it get COLD I thought the thermometer on the bike was broken because it was always on about 100 degrees for the whole trip, but it suddenly was at about 55 degrees. Try doing that at 50-70 mph. Glad I had my windproof fleece... I think I had some mild hypothermia.


Made it to Bar Harbor by 10p-ish last nite.. just woke up and now going to forage for breakfast and head out to Acadia national park... nice!


Cheers, mates!
