Blood Fact: “One pint of blood can save up to 3 lives1″
Wow! We are now in Manchester, NH… and … I was able to hug Gail and Amber … first time for a long time!
I want to tell Gail and Amber, how special it was to ride into the Comfort Inn today and to see both of them there waiting on us Adella and I to arrive … thanks a lot!
What can I say about the ride today?
First there were a lot of hills and lots of climbing … and … I can’t forget to give a special mention to the Old Sullivan road … it was amazing … yes … it was a 24% climb … and it just kept going and going … the only good thing about it was … it wasn’t raining and the road was dry!
It was a day of cycling loaded with lots of turns, lots of climbs, lots of wind, and lots of beautiful NH scenery.
For right now … let me say … I’m really glad today is in the “memory banks” of my mind!
I’m looking forward to tonight’s route rap … and … being close to family again.
Talk to you later.
Wow! What an amazing dinner and an incredible opportunity for each of us to say “good-bye” in our own special way!
Looking forward to the finish tomorrow at Wallis Sands Beach in Portsmouth, NH.
