Molly and I are 20 days and 940 miles into our own epic journey. My trip diaries are updated through yesterday. Today is our first rest day in two weeks. We are staying with our Warm showers.Org host … the husband is a lobsterman who will be bringing home fresh lobster for dinner! Sweet.
Here is my trip diary:

Molly and I have now completed a bit over 500 miles of our bike tour. We learned recently that Fred Flintstone has retired to Chance Harbor on the Bay of Fundy. Who knew?!

We have driven East and are ready to start our 2,000+ mile bike tour tomorrow morning. We've extended our route to now include Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Read the full trip diary via The Crazy Guy on a Bike Portal:
Today was fun visiting with friends at the Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter, NH. My old high school is the starting and ending point for our grand tour.
Here are two images … our amended and now longer route, and me in the assembly hall at PEA. Click upon either image to view at full size.
Sunday morning Molly (my wife) and I head East by car to the starting point of our Grand Gaspe Tour. This 2,000+ mile bike ride (self-supported) is already looking like it will get longer as I think we will add the islands of Grand Manan and Nova Scotia. Posts via NorthStarNerd (this blog) will become rare. You may find my trip diary on Crazy Guy on a Bike (view diary). The starting point for our bike ride will be my old high school, Phillips Exeter Academy.
Here is our planned driving point … North then East then South!
