On the Road to Delaware

65 miles
12.5 mph aver

Today was going to be the bad day.  We got up to a light rain and wind.  After loading up we pulled out with rain and wind and the prospects of a long day.  The wind was a cross wind the first 5 miles and then a really tough head wind for a few miles.  Then we turned north.

As we pulled on to Baltimore Ave in Ocean City it was still raining but the wind was at our back. For the next 55 miles we had a great tail wind and by 9:00 it stopped raining.  That was good because when we stopped for breakfast at McDonalds, I noticed Susan getting ready to walk in.  She had her hood pulled over her head with her sunglasses on and she looked like the Unabomber.  I told her she had to lower that hood or they would think we were getting ready to rob’em.  She took that well.

We rode the next 17 miles to Fenwick Island and our third state of the trip, Delaware.   Here we had to cross a high bridge.  Now, Susan not only dislikes bugs, she does not do good on high bridges over water.  With only a little hyperventilation though she made it over and the rest of the way was great.  We are now looking out our window to a sunny day.  Tomorrow the forecast is the same as today but the wind is only 5-10 mph from the ESE.  Tomorrow we are headed WNW to Chestertown.  We can only hope it is as bad as today.

Just add the sunglasses
