Today was the first day of my trip cycling down the Eastern Seaboard. In my mind, it didn't exactly play out the way I thought that it would. I dreamed that it would be sunny and warm with a nice trail wind.... and then I woke up.
We began in pour raining and relatively warm weather. Thank goodness for the warm temperatures! As you can see I dressed for wet weather with my leggings and bright yellow jacket so I could keep my legs warm as well as be seen. Even Jan put on her jacket before leaving!
I know we were cycling along the coastline today because I could smell the sea. I just wished I could have stopped to take pictures, but with the rain and the fog we encountered we were lucky to have been able to see the beaches as we rode through Kennebunkport, Ogunquit and York Maine.
The rain finally began to slow down as we crossed over the bridge into New Hampshire. So I was able to take my second picture of the day as we rode into Portsmouth. 
The bright side of cycling in the rain today was that my snake count was a big fat zero. Unless they were wearing water wings, there weren't any to be seen, it may have been a wet day, but it was a good day!

Doug and I just couldn't get enough of seeing the sights of York, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Following my ride I spent 45 minutes cleaning my bike and I'll bet when I get back to Richmond and have it tuned after my trip, they will still find sand from my ride today.
