Beata & Roger cycling together - a rare occurance
Tuesday July 27, 2010, 64 miles (103 km) – Day 53 Total so far: 3,799 miles (6,114 km)
Vertical feet: 3,600 – Total so far: 100,200
Our of two full days in Vermont was spectacular. It was hot and sunny – a rare day in VT. The route was only 64 miles so we decided approach the day with a leisurely attitude. We stopped for coffee and a glimpse at a newspaper. Over the past 7 weeks we seldom have had a chance to pore over a paper. Today we took the time.
Today’s highlight was climbing Jay Peak (3766 ft). It dominates the landscape for miles so to get to the other side is quite satisfying. This peak along with other rolling hills made for good day of riding.
When we rode into Newport we ca me upon a most beautiful Lake Memphremagog. It shares a border with Quebec. As one enters the city the landscape is dominated by a church on as hill

I will be sad to not get your updates when you are done. I bet you are becoming melancholy to be nearing the end of this adventure. Thank you for the tour of the country!
