Before writing too much more about the ride, I wanted to make sure to credit all the hard work by many behind the scenes to make sure that we all have a safe ride. All we riders have to worry about is the repetitive motion of one pedal stroke after another. The support and motor crews go through their own repetitive motions that make sure 490 riders are fed, their bikes functioning, luggage transfered, intersections blocked and morale maintained. Thanks.
Today's ride took us through Wilmington and into the beautiful farming country of eastern Maryland. The weather was nice for riding, though a bit breezy. The rain didn't start until a few miles out of Stevensville, where we boarded busses to transfer over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. I had a bit of a technical malfunction with the camera, so not a lot of pictures of the ride, so just imagine waving fields of grain and horses running alongside us while raptors flew above.
Stats for today:
Miles ridden: 95
Taps played: 2
Flats fixed for the ride: hundreds
