Day 8, across Northern Connecticut

Ashford, CT to Windsor Locks, CT

Average speed: 10.4 mph;  Time in the saddle: 2:37;  Elapsed time: 4:50:

Total Ascent: 1355 ft

Today's ride was kind of a recovery ride.  We dropped elevation to 100 ft above sea level from 1400 ft.  two off the bike climbs for me.  Jonathan continues to ride all the hills.  Of course he's carrying about 30-35 lbs and I've got about 70 lbs on mine.  His legs are 18 years younger also.

We met a young man, Leo, at our breakfast stop.  He was riding a 62 mile loop on a Sunday ride.  He had a bike, 17 lbs, and he was fit.  It's always fun to connect with other cyclists.  The other day, we connected with Rick,  He was touring the whole USA, but in different segments.

Enough for now.  I'll add a couple of pics when I get around to it.

Today's ride: 27 miles (43 km)
Total: 342 miles (550 km)
