Hey, this one coming from Providence RI
The numbers 75 miles today and 3750 calories burned

Cities included Hanover and Pembrooke along with Plymouth, Mass

The day was cold to start in the mid fifties.  Breafast at the hotel was at 8 am and a chat with Mike and Rabbi Ben. The Rabbi was working late at his synagoge and stayed at the hotel instead of driving home and back  the next day.  There is always a confident calmness when talking to religious leders and Ben was no exception.

25 miles to Plymouth to see The Rock.  Mike got a flat!  Ha! Ha!  These bike guys love to help someone in distress but when they get a flat it is really unfair

In the who knew catagory:  Cranberies
Lots of cranberry farms in Conniticut...but hey...no cranberry trees?
No cranberry bushes?

Cranberries are grown in boggs...close to the ground.  Went it comes time for harvest...they thrash the plants and flood the boggs and the canberries float to the top and are skimed off...sounds wild...but Mike swears its twuuue

We passed a guy with a front yard filled with colorful wind mobiles
A swan on a lake and 50 or more small 3oz whiskey bottles left over from a very cold winter

Tommorrow is a big ride day with a ferry ride across the sound on to Long Island.
