I'm back from my big bike trip - from Syracuse, NY to Portland, Maine all by my lonesome, via the Adirondacks, much Vermont, a hot second of Canada, eye-poppingly gorgeous New Hampshire mountain passes, and the awesomest Maine tidal beach ever. It was a great, great trip.
The whole day-by-day story is up here on crazyguyonabike.
The full set of pics are up here on picasa.
I texted friends & fam from the road. That seems like that little bit belongs here, so here it is. The links on the dates go to the full travelog page.

Great write-up and a good moral to that story. Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed it.
The next time you're on an expedition through VT you should stop by and knit with us.
Thanks! I actually thought about bringing my sticks along, but decided against it - I did find an awesome alpaca farm in Maine, though, that made me wish I had...
Oh. Wow. Damn. I am SO JEALOUS of your wonderful ride. Man, I have got to get my act together and do something like that... I am SO INSPIRED.
