Bike Ride to Maine - Day 1

I successfully completed the first leg of my journey to Maine. With my fully loaded bike weighing in at 50 lbs, I traveled 89 miles in under six hours. Although, the bike accelerated like someone was holding on to the seatpost, it otherwise handled well.

The GPS I used for navigation did a great job getting me to my destination while keeping me off of the major roads.

Overall, the day went well, though I was really tired by the end. That hill at mile 84 certainly wasn't welcome. I'm looking foward to what tomorrow will bring. Hopefully, my legs (and butt) will be up to the challenge.
