Riding Like the Wind....well almost

It was a beautiful day in our neighborhood! Perfect weather for starting our ride to Pocomoke, MD. The sun was shining through the high clouds and the wind was minimal! We had great shoulders to cycle on for the first 16.5 miles where we stopped to take a picture of our next state line crossing. We're now in Maryland. Unfortunately the sign was so high, it was hard to get in the picture.

We also cycled through Ocean City, Maryland early this morning before most shops were open and traffic was light. What was nice is the Bus/Cycling lane that we got to use. To bad it was so early in the morning we saw a lot of great restaurants that we could have stopped to have a bit of lunch. It was just to early. Sorry Dairy Queen, another time.

As we cycled out of the resort towns we continued to have wide shoulders until about mile 113S towards Snow Hill. There was some road construction but because it was Saturday, no one was working which made it easier for us to get through.

At the blinking light on Nassawango Road we got back on to country roads with really light traffic. But when you get one good thing you sometimes have to deal with one "not so good" thing like the wind. The head winds today we're fun.

Our ride was 63 miles today and took just over 4 hours. For those following the Snake Report, didn't see any snakes yesterday which is good since I was walking and not on my bike! Today I only saw one smooched snake which was out on the country roads where we had corn fields along the road.

Another day another mile and tomorrow Virginia! Wahoo!!!
