Sturbridge to Augusta. This was a tough day in the weather. Post tropical storm Andrea has been pushing us through New England. We had a wonderful overnight at the 1771 Publick House and lobster for dinner and the best ever sticky buns for breakfast. We met a group of riders on their way home to Nova Scotia that had been touring in southern New England. We all swapped stories and looked over each others bikes and trailers. One of couples had converted a Goldwing to a trike. Their trailer was very creatively built by reusing the saddle bags off of the bike and built a box in the middle with a one wheel trailer. We left Sturbridge in light rain and hopped on the I-90 turnpike. It was like someone turned on the shower, added an industrial fan to check our balance, plus brrrr air conditioning, haha cold weather. We stopped 50 miles down the road to warm up with a coffee and a free doughnut. Dunkin Doughnut has made June 7 national doughnut day, so doughnuts for everyone. Next stop was lunch and a Walmart run for anything else that we could buy to extend our ride time in this weather. So off with the wet layer of shirts add dry warm sweat shirts, dry heavy socks and dry rubber/mud boots. This stop was in Scarborough ME and we were able to float into Augusta for the night. Only 220 miles for the day but what a day. Overnight at the Hampton Inn and were able to walk next door to Margaritas for dinner. Looking at the radar it appears we need to take our time tomorrow and let the major rain pass through before heading to Madawaska.

| The folks at Hampton Inn were nice enough to let us keep the bikes under cover! |
