Bangor
ME
The
ride out of Danbury was on the I-84 which will take me through Waterbury and
Hartford into MA to connect with the I-90 to I495 to circumvent Boston. North of Boston 495 connects back to 95 and
it will be a straight shot up to Bangor where a reserved room is waiting for me
at the Econolodge where I stayed last year for 2 nights while horrendous storms
clashed all around the Northeast for two days.
As
I rode out I had the warm feeling of being only one day away from completing
the four corners event in 18 days if I arrive tomorrow the 16th
(Departure from Blaine WA was on June 29th.
That
warm fuzzy feeling was soon replaced with defensive frustration
with CT women drivers. A woman in a van got right on my tail then
suddenly sped up, whipped around me, and cut in front of me missing me by about
2 feet…only to then whip in to a service exit not 50 feet later! WHY??? What
are people so frantic about? The speed
limit is 65 and I was doing 70! Oh well.
Once
again I was treated to very attractive countryside vistas. But I-84 is a tired road. Sophia was bouncing all over the place from
the roughness that existed in many sections of the highway.
I
missed the I-290 turnoff so I just continued on to the I-495 and went around
Boston. Man, is that ever a
loooonnnngggg ride to finally connect to the I-95! I thot it would never end.
Bangor
finally got in my sights and I wrapped the day at around 490 miles. Not bad for an old guy J.
