Day 20 - Maine!!!!!

Well, if the trip was Maryland to Maine we'd be done. We left Newburyport this morning at 6 am and we checked into the Ne'r Beach Motel in Moody, Maine. We met Mike and Nancy O'Brien, owners of the motel, and they were super. This is a motel near the ECG that is bike-friendly, pet-friendly, and supports the ECG. Who would want to stay anywhere else? This is Mike and Nancy with the "talent."

In New Hampshire I got another opportunity to rest for a bit and I convinced Dan to sit with me. It's nice to smell the roses or look out at the water.

In Portsmouth, New Hampshire, we met Bob Klotz. We arranged to ride the rest of the way to Moody, Maine, from there. It's around 30 miles. Dab chose the restaurant where we would meet based on an infrequent stop in the area and what Dan thought might be the local specialty. Dan seemed to appreciate Bob's company for the conclusion of our longest day of this trip. Having just met Bob, I thought he was nice, but I felt sad for him - he had no dog to take care of him.
