As I reach the halfway mark of my trip, I find myself at a turning point in more ways than one. After several weeks of being caught up in a slew of new experiences (and not blogging much in case it wasn’t obvious) I am heading west, now with more confidence and a renewed sense of adventure.
Another really hot day is tempered with not one, but TWO swims in Lake Champlain. The next day I trade biking in for farming and enjoy a visit at Blue Heron Farm where good food and hard work are the ingredients for a better world.
Challenge #1 when bicycle touring: You are too busy biking, eating, sleeping, or otherwise living freely to hunker down and write on your blog. And so, five days after my departure from Montreal, I am writing my first entry ‘from the road’. First up, I finally trek out of Montreal into the unknown of rural Quebec.
The Tour de FUN(draiser) was amazing! Feeling really connected, supported, and grateful right now. And crazy – in a good way.
No pain no gain right? After my first 100km ride, I can definitely relate. My latest achievement (and an afternoon at the beach) makes up for my two tired legs.
