Bike Tour Will Recommence… Tomorrow

I am in Ellsworth, ME. Later today I’ll take the bus up to Calais, ME—which is on the Canadian border. 

Tomorrow I’ll start to pedal south—from the northern terminal point—on the East Coast Greenway Trail towards Bar Harbor, ME.

Next week, in Bar Harbor, I’ll meet 13 other riders, and 2 tour leaders, and we’ll start our inexorable bike trek south to Washington, DC. It will take us 32 days to cover the 1,256 miles—3 off days are scheduled into the ride. We’ll arrive in DC on June 7th.

After the others have dispersed to their respective homes, I will continue southbound  approximately 688 miles, over the course of 2 weeks, until I arrive at Georgetown, SC—thereby completing the entire 2,900+ miles of the East Coast Greenway Trail.

This is what the ECG is if you are unfamiliar with it:

When I’m finished in mid-June, I will have biked 985 miles northbound and 1,944 southbound in March, May and June 2025.

My knees ache just thinking about it!

Thanks for reading and dropping by to see what’s happening in my neighborhood. 

What I’m Reading:

I’m catching up with who I want to be.
I’m saying day after day, I live

the harder it will be to kill me.
