Canaan, Averill, Norton, Morgan, Charleston, Holland, and Derby, plus the city of Newport

Miles: 68, mostly on pavement

Totals to date: 47 towns, 288 miles

I’m at mile 288 total on my odometer, I’ve ridden at least a few miles with the battery off, but my addled brain says I covered at least 68 miles. I was so tired in the morning, I wasn’t sure how I could ride at all, so I was quite pleased with 68 miles, especially as it was done on one battery with only a 15-minute charge while I snacked on raw corn and tomatoes at a farm stand in Charleston. The riding was fairly easy by Vermont standards, and most of it was on pavement. I added 7 towns and one city, plus two gores which are not included in the total, to my list. I made one wrong turn, which caused me to be at an intersection looking at my map at exactly the same time a gentleman in a pickup truck arrived. He asked me if I needed help. After telling him what I was doing, he directed me to a lovely campground with electricity right on the shores of Lake Memphremagog . I cooked up some kale I got at the farm stand, ate a few hard-boiled eggs and bread, and fell into a much needed sleep.
