Greetings from Rhode Island!
Wow it's already the 4th day. We have an excellent group of campers and riders on our hands!
We spent the first night at Hammonasset State Park- the ride was quite hilly but we got some great views of the beach and took a detour to follow signs for public beach access-we found the beach and a very nice man sitting at the police station let us fill our water bottles-next we wandered across the street where there was a small water park and we got to cool off a little. Once we made it to the state park we cooked some pasta! (we were all so hungry that first night) then we walked over to a nearby beach with s'more supplies in tow and thoughts of fireworks in our future- it was the fourth of July after all(pictures soon to come)
The next day we packed up and were ready for another day of riding- our destination-Rocky Neck State Park! The ride was thankfully uneventful(more hills) and included a stop for ice cream.YUM. We set up camp and ate dinner this time it was tacos (and veggie burgers) This campsite was also close to the beach so we rode over there after dinner and had s'more s'mores!
Day 3 was known as "hotel day" as everyone was pretty excited to sleep in a bed already haha- we had our first flat- easy fix- and beautiful weather again:D The ride through Mystic was great, so many little shops and alot of culture, not to mention it's beautiful seaport.
Today we arrived in rhode island and sadly our good weather streak has ended- it was pouring as we rode onto the campsite but thankfully it let up for enough time to set up our tents and to cook and eat dinner. It seems to be letting up again and we' re going to try and get a fire going!
Pictures soon to come!
Until next time,
Adam and Danielle
