The Beers

Alicia and I enjoy many outdoor activities. Alicia has long had a life goal of bicycling across America. It sounded like a great adventure to me. This was an opportune pause in our lives with a recent job loss (May 2009), so with just three weeks of planning and training - we were off.

This trek started May 24th, 2009 from Anacortes, Washington ending 65 days later in Portland, Maine (We had expected 60 days to Bar Harbor, Maine.).

3964 spinning miles!! Biggest day 115 miles. ~~Pete Beer

Day 27. New Town, then Makoti

You've probably noticed the double location listings on the last several posts. The major town for the day has been our mid-day stop and we have been camping in the smaller bergs.

New Town did not have much too it. We stopped for lunch. A really big indian (native american) fellow started asking questions about our trip outside the restaurant. He was friendly. He was at a table near us in the restaurant as well and we talked some. When it came time for us to pay up and leave we found that he had bought our lunch. That was so very much appreciated. Thanks!!! The folks in New Town were very friendly.

We went on to Makoti. It was a nice town a mile off our route. The city park was small and pleasant. The weather was cool again - perfect for riding. And we still had some tail winds. There were a few annoying hills though. There also will be. I've started saying: "It's just another hill.". We had a couple nice cruises where we were going 20 mph with the tail wind for awhile. So sweet!
