Day 1 Begin - Niantic

5-21-2014   -   Day 1

Niantic CT to Bear Mountain NY

Hey everyone..... Joe Tim and Ken survived the pain of the first day. Oh it was ugly. Crummy roads, gobs of traffic 129 miles and 8800 feet of climbing that came on all at the end. It is always better to get your climbing done when you are fresh or spread it out over the day. That did not happen.

We knew it was going to be an ugly day. Plus we are just starting the tour our bodies need to adjust to 100 miles a day and bikes that weigh over 70 pounds.

Traffic and crummy roads were on tap for today as we tried to “get out of town” and get this adventure started.ust to 100 miles a day with bikes over 70 pounds.


 Weather Sunny 75 degrees

128 Miles

8759 Feet of Climbing
