Stop with cyclists

Nathan and Jennifer

I already realized that my trip is like anthropological research of people’s’ backyards, so will title the future posts just with names of people I stayed with.
 

Cycled along the Scarborough Marsh, in Biddeford saw a gear shop, “Everybody Plays”. Was looking for proper bags for my bicycle constantly, but nothing fit. And the last that could fit was a bicycle rack panniers. Finally, in this shop, I saw a couple of soccer backpacks, which guys worked hard to attach to my bike, because my rack actually also didn’t fit. They liked what I was doing and didn’t charge me for these bags.
A few miles before Portsmouth the cycling path came to the regular road, I didn’t see Greenway Trail signs, and asked local cyclists, where to turn better. It was Nathan and Jennifer, and I spent two nights in their spare bedroom. Nathan was an engineer, and Jennifer was a data analytic. Their backyard actually was a forest, where they set a zip-line and Tarzan swing. They took me for dinner at the York54 restaurant. I believe, it was close to the place, where they usually surf.  I would probably surf with them, but particularly on that day there was no wind, and water was flat.

From journalism and car racing in Russia to teaching at the University in South Africa, where she won Alliance de France and the British Consulate international photo contests, she switched paths: earned a silver medal at the 2011 World Masters Athletics USA, hiked the 2,081-mile Appalachian Trail, navigated the Amazon from Peru to Brazil, biked Route 66 from Chicago to LA, from London to Orkney, and from Canada to Key West, and launched an art project at Midcoast Maine. During lockdown drove to Olympic Valley Palisades Tahoe where became a ski and swim instructor, then… well, enough for now.
