I’ve made it to New York City!

Bike Day 1: I biked from Fairhaven, MA to Providence, RI on Thursday, the 27th. That went remarkably well; it was the first time I ventured out with my trailer packed with all of my gear! I used my trailer a few times to move some things within Providence, and luckily I think my gear is a bit lighter! I left pretty late, and the bike ride along the east bay bike path at dusk was a highlight. I saw a few geese with their now adolescent goslings.

Bike Day 2: After a few days in Providence, I headed off for Narragansett Sunday morning. This is when I realized that I bike a lot slower with a trailer full of gear than without. I stopped at the farmers market near Point Judith and got some lettuce! Then I caught the ferry to Block Island and had such an awesome time. It was real nice spending time with my friends, Jessy, Jimmy, Ayla, Ezra, and Fuzz. The natural beauty of Block Island is breathtaking.

Bike Days 3 & 4: I decided that when I arrived on the afternoon ferry to Montauk, Long Island, I would just head from there and get to NYC as soon as possible. It’s a 125 mile ride, and I did it just over 24 hours. I took some time to sleep and eat… and I lot of time to get lost. Traveling through Long Island felt as though I was circling in the same town over and over. If I ever attempt to travel so far in one trip again, so as to keep it from all blurring together, I definitely will stop and enjoy the sights more along the way.

Here are some pictures from Block Island!
