Today I enjoyed a pleasant drive to Belfast. If cycling, this would have been the hilliest ride of the entire Atlantic Coast journey. Some call them mountains!

Belfast is a very picturesque town overlooking the Passagassawakeag River.  The name has Native American origins and roughly means “place of sturgeon.” I’ve embraced the name used by locals, the Passy.

Here’s the view of Belfast Bay from the back of my motel:

I skipped sightseeing today so I could inspect the bike and take a test ride. Test complete; test satisfactory!

I plan to turn in my rental car and return to biking tomorrow. My cough has entered a mostly unnoticeable phase.

Tally for the day: 0 miles
