88km/55m, 5hrs 24mins, 16.3kph/10.1mph, 857m/2785ft of climbing.
A day of hills and headwinds, but also of beautiful sunshine in superlative scenery.
I've made the interesting discovery on this trip that I never feel as strong after a rest day. Seems counter-intuitive, but that's how it works. After a rest day I feel a bit sluggish, then the day after that I am raring to go. It's as if it takes my muscles the first session to re-acclimatise after they've been allowed to relax.
I rode through numerous pretty hamlets today, tiny communities of classic New England clapperboard houses and churches. St Johnsbury is an undistinguished little town, however.
