Day 14

After a super breakfast at the B&B, I hit the road.  My hosts were experienced bicycle tourists and suggested an alternate route that would avoid some steep climbs.   I made great time and entered New Hampshire at 10:30 AM.   I was disappointed that there was no Welcome to sign.  The morning was peaceful riding a dirt road for several miles in the NH countryside.   It was again foggy and finally lifted around 11:00 AM and got into the low 80s.    The afternoon route was mountainous and crossed the Appalachian Trail near North Woodstock, where I ended today’s 75 mile journey.    I coasted for 5 miles down a long grade into town, which was a great way to end the day’s ride.  I should be in Maine tomorrow afternoon.

This was a great breakfast at the B&B with a Vermont Cheddar cheese omelet, home made applesauce, Greek yogurt, raspberries, granola, and hard boiled eggs.  Unfortunately I couldn't finish all of it, but I took two hard boiled eggs for the road.
