Firewood Mountain

A great impovement in the weather today but still cold and blustery with some strong head winds going down the hills so much so I was looking forward to climbing up the next hill which was sheltered from the oncoming wind. I did part of a tour today which was in a book Val gave me  back in Belfast. I bagged the tour after a few miles and instead just road north on 201.Which is the best Hiway I've ridden on so far.Nice wide shoulders and  thigh burning climbs these Maine country roads seem to  have. It was sunday to which helps for low traffic volume though I don't think there will be much traffic the rest of the way to Canada. Only 2 days til "Tim Horton's".

A rare sign.
