Day one was completed at 2:30 today. We got here yesterday around 4, and hung out, read, and then went to our first dinner arranged by the Inn to Inn company. The B and B we stayed at was fine, though not at the level the rest of the inns are. They do have a winery and brewery and we had a tasting when we arrived. Dinner in Brandon was awesome. Got up today and it was 50 degrees and windy and cloudy. We started at 10 for a 40 mile ride in a very round about way to Middlebury. It's really only 18 miles, but we were on some great low traffic roads for the first half of the ride. There were 4-5 climbs of 10-12%, but not too long I didn't tell my DH I wanted to kill him, so that's a good sign. We stopped in E. Middlebury for lunch; I wonder why gas stations and convenience stores here always have gourmet sandwiches!!
Got to our inn (much nicer), our luggage was in the room, and we showered, and walked to town. Had a great beer and a cheese plate, as well as wonderful conversation with the bartender and another guy who worked there who is a cyclist.
Our dinner at the inn is at 7 and I am quite ready!
