"Eye of the Tiger" is about to Kick in!

Greetings slices home,
   Our journey of epic proportions is about to come to a close... Yesterday, our ride brought us to Portsmouth New Hampshire, half way between Boston and Portland Maine. We saw the ocean... The last time we saw the ocean we were looking the opposite direction, and now, we have left an entire country behind us. Hopefully a trail of inspiration, ideas, and lives changed, even if they're changed just a little bit.
   Our ride out of Boston was intense, we hit BIKE TRAFFIC! WHAAA? Once out of the city, we had a few just up and down rolling hills but soon, it became pretty flat and an easy ride. Eventually we crossed into New Hampshire, "Live Free or Die"! Once there, we took our first right off of Highway 1 to go and find Highway 1-A, the coastal route!
   Either a left or straight, left going along the coast, straight checking out that big body of water and beach. We started doing Eye of the Tiger, but had to stop to reserve it for today. But, we chose the straight route, if only just to have a looksy. BOOM! THERE IT WAS! This giant body of water, sloshing and rolling around all the way to the end of the Earth. A sigh of relief, a laugh because you just have to laugh about what you've done, and a whoop for the sake of whooping!
   We then continued our coastal journey along all 29 miles of New Hampshire along the beach. It was quite epic. A coastal breeze that was actually cool. The smell of fish and salt. The beautiful woman in bikinis and the random things people do while on a beach. People watching and bike riding, a great combination!
   Once we arrived in Portsmouth, we went to the Kirsten and Peters house whom we found on warmshowers. We all had ourselves a nice shower, then Peter took us on a bike tour of one of the best places I now know to be, downtown Portsmouth. First, he took us to get the best cookies at a bakery... sooo goood. Then he showed us the downtown, which is quaint but full of life. When we broke off we went to The Portsmouth Brewery, always a good place to chat with people about our bike journey.
   The bartenders Donna and Denise were kind enough to buy us each a beer and lunch! The Portsmouth brewery not only has good beer, but great food as well! Thank you Donna and Denise for you gratuitous show of kindness, CHEERS! We hung out at the brewery for a little while because we knew we were going to watch Jurassic Park at a free outdoor theater in Prescott Park! So we talked to the bartenders, the general manger Brennen and all the other people who wanted to hear our story. Brennen gave us some pretty cool free t-shirts, thanks Brennen, our packs our getting heavier on the daily! We handed out a bunch of cards to people whom all seem very interested in our journey and why we are doing it. Like I said, Portsmouth is great!
   After the brewery we met back up with Peter then went down to the park for one of my top 10 favorite movies, JURASSIC PARK! WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP! It was a free outdoor theater that was packed with pedestrians all wanting to see dinosaurs. Fantastic, everywhere needs a free outdoor theater!
   Now, it is today, for I was to tired to type this blog last night. But, it is our last day of the journey... The rest of the ride is Celebration! Though, we do have a press date in Portland for when we arrive back there on the 1st! Thanks for helping set that up Arthritis Foundation. So today is lobster, and jumping in the ocean. Today is Eye of the Tiger for real. Today is the period to our journey. I don't want to jump the gun and say "WE DID IT", so I will wait, but just so you know, I did just say that.
   Please everyone, continue to donate! you can even after we make it to Portland AND EVEN AFTER INTO SEPT! You have a chance to win my bike! I will get pictures of it I promise! It's really cool! Remember to email me your name and how much you donated! If you want to just donate, and rather have my name on the ticket, just email me said information and then I may have a chance to win my bike back! Thanks everyone!
