State number 12, New Hampshire.

Bloody knackered.

Today was slow and steady and ended up being really tiring. I rode 64 miles with some steep climbing and kind of hit a mental and physical WALL after about 50 miles.

I'm having so many conflicting thoughts. I go from excited at being nearly done, to a bit dissapointed. Then I feel like it has all gone by so quickly, yet these last few days are seeming to take FOREVER!!

I'm staying with my third warmshowers hosts tonight. A very warm a quirky couple who again have been just so welcoming and made me feel very relaxed. Julie and Dave have a nice house in a very rural setting. Apparently a bear has been spotted in a neighbours garden the last few days. I'm getting closer.

As a hobby Dave runs a shooting range so I got to watch some 'gun nuts' enjoying their shooting earlier.

Julie kindly picked me up to save the mile or so journey up a dirt road to their house and we shared another great meal.

In other news today, I pedalled, allot.

I'm too tired to write any more. The last of the big climbs tomorrow before just plain old hills for a couple of hundred miles. Easy!!!

Hi Ben, great pictures again. I know that feeling.You want to finish but your sad its nearly done. The good thing is there's always another adventure waiting for you after this one. You've done more than enough to be proud of on this trip already. So relax and enjoy.

Thanks Frank. And thanks for the sponsorship. I've had a few other pledges from other people too so hopefully the funds raised will increase.
