Hey Doug. Thanks for your response. I’m in Bristol..near Damariscotta and I’ll be driving by Portsmouth. I’ll be meeting friends in Bettendorf where we’ve booked a charter to haul us to the start town. We need to load our bikes the afternoon of July 21 but I can be flexible with my travel arrangements. We’re waiting for the route announcement to make plans for after the ride. There’s a slight possibility I may fly but probably not. Feel free to email me at rheophile@gmail.com. Dan
