Last overnighter before I go across America!

The dream is becoming real folks, planning on heading out friday!! 🫨
Only my 2nd overnighter, don’t have any longer to train so i’m gonna be jumping right into it but i’m excited.
I’m going to Portland ME first and following a more northern route.
Anyways this was a great trip, definitely was feeling it in my legs during the last 10 or so miles today, with a lot of climbing and by far my longest ride.
Found a lot of beautiful spots, the one with the train track arch was insane, but i actually found it by accident. I would say don’t trust apple maps but it accidentally led me there (through some pretty sketchy terrain ngl 😭) only for me to have to run around due to a closed private access road.
Was also hot asfff for vermont on tuesday (95 and beating down) so it was a lot better coming back today in 80 degree weather, makes a hell of a difference.
Also the gear seems dialed in, only thing that went wrong is i was a dumbass and took off the front orange strap on the big dry bag to grab something and forgot to put it back and lost it somewhere but i just clipped the buckle around the seat post and the other strap is enough.
Anyways hope my yapping was mildly entertaining and hope u guys can hang along for the long and wild ride it will be across the US. 🙂
