More than a year and a half have passed since the forest fires forced me to abandon my ride from Manhattan to Quebec City. After a fun 57th New Hampton Reunion in New Hampton, New Hampshire, it was a easy drive in my Mercedes camper up to Sherbrooke. The trick was to find long term parking for the camper and a truck stop to spend the night. No secure parking in Sherbrooke so I checked online for the existence of a local airport. Thirteen miles east of Sherbrooke I arrived at very small but nice local airport, just for local folk and no control tower. Much to my delight I am allowed to do both long term parking and also spend the night, free no less!
The weather is windy, cold (in the forties), rainy and foggy, not conducive for bicycling. Starting tomorrow, June 2, it will be sunny for the next few days. 130 miles to Quebec City in three days should be doable. This short leg is the first road trip since my back operation January 22, all should go well given that I have been biking an hour a day, five days a week for over a month. On the road again!
