Wheel full 70px The rain predictions for today and tomorrow are for brief periods of drizzle- the same as have been in the forecast every couple of days for the past few weeks but have never materialized.  My weather app says it is supposed to be drizzling right now, but I guess it is hard to see in all that sunshine that’s currently outside my window.

A Tentative Itinerary

Portland 9/19
Boston 9/23
Newport 9/28
New London 9/30
NYC 10/4
Cape May 10/8
Virginia Beach 10/12

Daytona Beach 10/29
Miami 11/3
Key West 11/5

Wheel full 70px I’m going to try to stick to the schedule as closely as possible, but on the other hand you never know what might come up along the way. I’ll plan to update the list every week or so between now and the end of the trip.

Wheel full 70px If you are interested in getting together as I pass through on my way down the coast, please let me know in the comments or email me at info@b2bbiketrip.com.  I’m always up for breakfast, lunch, dinner or whatever.
