It was a beautiful 78 degree day. This is up a small hill, my favorite spot, I also run this route and always make a point of stopping right there just to enjoy, I truly feel lucky to live here.
Another quick stop to watch the geese, from far off, those things are wild! Ive seen them take a go at me if I ride or run too close to them!
Enjoying the beach for a minute it was truly a great 32 mile ride and most of all, I cant even remember what I was so stressed about

after seeing the first pic, i almost closed the window thinking i was on myspace haha, but the coast looks beautiful, i didn't think NH had any scenic coast like that, all i ever think of is mt washington and snow, must be nice to have that view every day. i have cows and a few horses. if i luck out i might catch a glimpse of the rare rednecked a-hole's that are scattered throughout the region. nice pics!
