So close we can smell it!

July 30 Wilton to Belfast,ME  (81 miles)  Day 56

Another day of gorgeous weather!  Aside from some drizzle in Quebec we have not had rain since Wisconsin.  Our route took us through small towns of central Maine.  Very hilly!  Up and down–up and down.  Should have kept track of how many times we switched gears.

At about mile 78 we rode around a bend and below us was Belfast Harbor!  Our first glimpse of the Atlantic Ocean.  It was breathtaking!  As we rode into town we could smell the fishing boats and the sea.  We still have 65 miles to ride before we are on the easternmost part of Maine so, the trip is not yet over.  That’s tomorrow.
