Ok, where the hell is that monthly view on the phone app?!?!? Yes, I’m a premium member... but I can’t find it.
Such great roads around Portsmouth. That coast is just beautiful.July 31 - The end. And I'm now 4/5 states away in Portsmouth NH. I left home at about 1 PM yesterday, taking the "CT bypass route" up te Thruway and across the Mass TP, getting here a bit before 8. Hitting the Beach Plum for a lobster roll before checking into the hotel.
Then i go into work today, sitting in a kick-off meeting for 6+ hrs where we talked about my scope for about 15 minutes and I spoke for maybe 30 seconds. I get back the hotel around 5 and I can finally get ready to ride.
If there is one thing that is really cool about Portsmouth it is just how many cyclists you see. They are everywhere here. I easily saw over 20 during my relatively short ride. Anyway, enough blabbing... On to pictures.

This bridge was still under construction when I was here back in 2016.

It's hard to tell, but it's a yoga class on stand up padel boards.

Of course, there has to be a picture of my bike with the Atlantic ocean and sail boats in the background.

And here is my van packed with bikes. So far it looks like the weather will be good for me to ride at Highland tomorrow before I meet my friends at the rental house in VT.
My recorded stats for July: 39 hrs 14 min and 515 miles. Thanks to the Strava malfunctions, the actual time was about 2 hrs and about 20 miles more. Fortunately, the new phone fixed the issues I was having with the GPS tracking.
This.And of course.... the soundtrack.
Props to all that pushed through and succeeded.
32 days total. Doubled my pre July ride count and mileage. More stats coming.

You guys all rule.
It’s been great to watch this all go down.
While I didn’t finish this effort myself, I wish you all the best and I hope to have made some small impact in your summer.

@chemgirl - Hoffman farms is where I worked on the farm at the end of high school & start of college. Albert & Joyce Hoffman were both alive then. I think it's funny that it's a public park now, I guess I should really check it out.
