A hilly ride to St Michaels

53 miles
10.8 mph aver


Today we rode in sunny shine the whole day. It was the hilliest day by far though. The 40 miles to Easton was rolling as well as some short climbs by Susan’s definition. She says any grade you can’t climb faster than 6 mph is a hill. I agree. We had 2 or 3 hills today. We had lunch in Easton and browsed the shops for about an hour and then headed to St Michaels. After checking into our hotel we rode into St Michaels. I sat in a pub and drank a few adult beverages while Susan browsed and a few more shops.

After four days and a couple hundred miles we are taking a day off tomorrow. St Michaels is a good place to spend a day and we might ride into Easton again. It’s only 8 miles from us. The forecast is the same as today, 60% rain. It has been beautiful all day.
