Today Nathan and I biked 76 miles from Latham, New York to Brattleboro, VT. The ride was absolutely beautiful. We really like Vermont! The towns are really quaint and the green mountains are endless. Today we had some good climbs again for the first time since the black hills in South Dakota.

The great thing about today was that Nathan’s sister Ann, her husband Ian, and her kids Alexa, Ian, and Lyla all met us at the second SAG stop. Ian rode the rest of the way in with us too. Even though today was tough with the hills and my knee hurting it went by really fast. I think the next two days are going to go by really fast and the trip is going to be over before we know it.

After we had a nice lunch with Ann and her family Nathan’s mom met up with us in Brattleboro. She’ll be cheering us on the rest of the way. It’s been so great seeing everybody along the way and we can’t say enough how much we’ve appreciated how much everyone has gone out of their way for us.

Semper Fidelis.
