2017 Seacoast Century

Yesterday was the 2017 Seacoast Century (today as well, but I'm only attending one day!).  The weather was fabulous, and the course was amazing.  It was my first "metric century" (100 kilometers) and I had a great time!  It took me a while (6 hours 44 min) but I got it done!

Here are some photos of my day.

The ride starts at Hampton Beach State Park in Hampton, NH and traveled as far north (I believe) as York, Maine.

This one was taken from the walkway of a bridge.  We were required to walk our bikes over, using the walkway, rather than riding over the metal grid surface.

Taken from another bridge.  I love the look of this house, with all the boats and fishing paraphernalia.

I love VW busses, and couldn't resist getting a photo of this one in Portsmouth, NH.

This is the Memorial Bridge separating New Hampshire & Maine.  We had our own bike lane, on both sides.

This was a beautiful pond, at the entrance to Ft. McKinley in Maine, our first (and third) rest stop.

First rest stop.  (I didn't stop here on the way back.)

Photo of my bike at the second rest stop.

The Memorial Bridge on the way back.  I had to stop because the drawbridge was going up!  This was at about 42 miles, and it was a nice (short) break.
