We had a great day of riding today. There were still way too many hills, but the mileage made up for it a bit. I need.to quite complaining about hills. It is just the way it is, right? We are just to the west of Baltimore, MA tonight and rode a total of 45 miles today. The day was very nice for riding today. We were to stay at this boy scout camp, but when we got here, there was no power. The owner met us there and during the storms he had a tree fall on his power lines and the power company had told him that is was fixed but it wasn't and he had not been back to check on it. I guess it turned out to be fortunate for us because he knew the people who owned the camp next to theirs and he gave them a call and they said we could stay at the same price. This camp has cabins and is very nice. I think it is a boys camp as well, but it must be for boys that are not quite as rugged as boy scouts. We will enjoy the night here.
We have a big day tomorrow. We travel into DC and have a little over 80 miles to go. Some of it is on bike trail, so that will help with the ups and downs, but that is still a big day.
Thought I might introduce you to some of the people I am riding with. The first picture is Tim & Nancy Love from Tacoma WA. The second is Merge from Australia & Bill Goshorn from Michigan. Bill is the oldest on the trip at 71. The 3rd is John from London. John and I are roommates when we stay at hotels. He is great and is actually turning into my mentor. Bill from Florida and Bonnie from Port Byron, MI. The next is Riba from Texas. She is a pretty firery woman. The next is Selwyn from New Zealand. He is such a fun man, always joking around. I do a lot of riding with Bill from Michigan. He is the oldest, but he is tough and consistant. There are more but and I will introduce later.
The last picture is my meal tonight (spaghetti). I eat all my meals with that little bowl and utensils and pack my sandwich for the day unit as well.
