Bike the Borderline

Starting in NYC on October 25, 2009 we plan to cycle south along the East coast to the Florida Keys then across the Southern tier to San Diego; and then up the Pacific Coast Highway all the way to Seattle and Vancouver. We’ll then cycle across the Northern tier to Maine. The final stretch is down the Atlantic coast through Boston to NYC, which we hope to complete by September 30, 2010. We are raising money for Multiple Sclerosis (both US and UK) so please donate.

Portland, Maine

Another short and sweet blog today guys! We woke up fairly early today, had breakfast, returned the Ford Escape to Hertz and then whilst Kat was planning where we would be staying for the next few days, Anthony watched Ironman2 on HBO.

At 6pm we were in a cab from the hotel to the Old Port area of Portland for dinner. Our cab driver, John was a Yorkshire man (preparing us for our NYC nights with Pat and Tim), an ex-bodyguard who has been living in Maine for the past 10 years and seems to be enjoying it. Being dropped off at the restaurant, we could see it was a popular place. No tables were available when we arrived but with help from Megan our server and Caitlin the Maître d', we were seated within 20 minutes and enjoying a lovely meal …thanks Caitlin and Megan.

Back on the road tomorrow, exactly 11 months on the road.
