Cathy's on the road




Saturday they spent the day in Rutland, Vermont getting tires for Leah's bike and running errands and assembling Cathy's bike. She will be riding to the finish with them. They stayed  at Jen's Motel, and Leah said that Jen is a really nice person who took good care of them. This morning they hit the grocery store and and bought some goodies for the road. They headed for Woodstock, Vermont and put in 7 miles up hill and Cathy was a trooper. When they arrived, there was no place to stay. So they asked directions and unfortunately the directions were inaccurate and they put in about an hour and a half on the road in the dark. They rode a total of 47.5 miles. Finally they ended up in Queshee State park. Fortunately they had food so Leah ate a roast beef wrap, some sushi, a really delicious apple and a Reeses  peanut butter cup. C and C ate a sandwich each and a sweet roll.
Tomorrow they'll cross over into New Hampshire and hook up with Leah's college buddy and brilliant photographer Nora who will also ride to Portland (I think). The sailing looks smoooth and they will be wrapping up this trip in less than a week so stay tuned.
