Feeling the Burn

26/5/2024

 
Stage 12, 13.0
North Hudson, New York – Freeport, Maine

290.07 Miles – 464.11 Kilometres 
Total distance ridden 4367.13 Miles – 6987.41​ Kilometres
We sat and cooked, listening to the bird-less bush and sound of our stove quietly heating our food. Whilst eating, a bus load of people arrived, all wearing quick-drying travelling clothes and most of them eagerly consuming the view. An Englishman spotted our bikes and rushed over and very politely asked the standard questions. He then apologised and went to admire the view. As soon as he had left, a couple from California appeared and asked those same standard questions, before rushing away to board their coach.

​We breathed a sigh of relief as the full vehicle departed the lookout, and commented that the bra didn't deter people. Then at that very moment, a woman sheepishly approached us. She introduced herself as Katia Hetter from CNN Travel and asked if she could interview us. We said sure, and before we knew it, someone called Shannon was asking yet more questions while a photographer clicked away. Sharon had somehow managed to miraculously make her bra disappear.
