Pocomoke, last city before Virginia

58.3 miles
12.5 mph aver.

Today's ride was supposed to be in the wind at 10-20 mph but it was not.  We had a really nice ride all the way to Princess Anne where we ate lunch.  We had 43 miles behind us and it was only 11:30.  We started talking about riding all the way to Onancock, 47 miles away.  We decided we would see how we felt when we got to Pocomoke.

After lunch we started down hwy 13 and in a few miles we hit those 10-20 mph winds head on.  For a while they were more 10 than 20 but 6 miles from Pocomoke the 20 mph wind kicked in.  When got to the hotel there was no doult we were stopping.  We have been really lucky with the weather and none of our riding days have been challenging and we decide not start today.

Tomorrow we have 32 miles to go and we are looking forward to another nice country ride.  We still have the 30% rain and the 10-20 wind but expect another great day.
