Good evening everyone!

So, the weather report I’d set up to automatically add our start and finish line conditions obviously didn’t post… I’ll have to see if I can sort that out tomorrow. 

Anyhow, we had a nice route today, with a few light showers that rolled through here and there. Some people saw just a light shower that lasted a few minutes, others saw only spotty mist or drizzle. Everyone made their way through the northeast corner of MA and into southern NH, and into UNH in Durham rather well. A couple flat tires here and there, but nothing major.  

We made our way over to dinner just across the corner of the quad and while there, the skies opened up- complete with thunder and lightning. Standing water several inches deep was common at its peak intensity. 

We had a nice presentation by one of our cycling teams, Team Blood Glucose from the UK and a musical performance who came up to entertain us for the evening. 

The rain continues as I type this at 8:35, which washed out our nightly raffle at the truck- soaked to the skin, it was all the excuse I needed to wrap up early, have a warm shower, and hit the bed early- that doesn’t happen too often for me. 

Tomorrow, we cross into ME to UNE in Biddeford, which will be the finish line for our two day, 150 mile riders, and just over 1/4 of the way for our seven day riders. More updates to come!

Keep the wind at your back and the downhills in front of you. 

GearMan.
