It was cosy in the cabin last night. Overnight low was reported at 24F about 20F colder than average low temperatures. I waited until 9am to start when it had already warmed up nicely. There was still a wind from the west but that got less over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started out cycling on the road. These farm animals all seemed curious on the contraption passing. I’ve also had dogs running but so far they stay away from the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At seven miles was the small hamlet of Canaan. It had a hardware store, pizza place, convenience store, a few churches, a post office and not much else. I stopped in at the convenience store for a late breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A little later I decided to try the trail again. This part is rougher than the first 30 miles yesterday but not too bad. As a bonus, the last bits into Lebanon were a slight 1-2% downhill grade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This looked like an old mill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of these spots along the lake were pretty. A nice bench for leaning the bike and sitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trail ended in the middle of Lebanon. The last mile was even paved. From here a mixture of trail and road brought me to West Lebanon and a stop for lunch. It was busy in this area with an Interstate carrying most of the traffic. The photo above is a smaller bridge over the Connecticut River and the other side is Vermont. I crossed two bridges with the second being the White River. The Connecticut forms the boundary between New Hampshire and Vermont. The White is the river I will start following uphill on my way to Montpelier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strava tells me<\/a>: 26.05 miles in 3:04:17 for an average of 8.5 mph. A total of 741 feet climbed and 1868 calories burned.<\/p>\n\n\n
