Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg! (yes that's a real word)

Day 2 was all about one thing: Endurance. This was the longest stage of the tour with about 70 miles of epic riding but I absolutely loved every part of it, from the beautiful towns we passed by to the gorgeous scenery we rode through. Connecticut is absolutely beautiful and I would definitely recommend biking through the Constitution state if you ever find yourself in a bike tour. We basically rode the whole of Connecticut from the MA-CT border to the port city of New London. It was a long ride but it was definitely worth it. Next stop: The Empire State!
