Today was what ya might call a character builder. It was one of those days that we should have had an extra bowl of Wheaties or threw down an extra serving of spinach at breakfast. It wasnāt the elevation but the consistent headwind. All. Day. Long. For 76 miles, almost all of it on one road.
And when we werenāt crossing bridges over rivers in small towns we were riding among wheat fields. I had no idea Maryland had such a robust cash crop in grains. Apparently āThe Old Line Stateā was known as the āBreadbasket of the Revolutionā during our countryās fight for independence. The wheat fields today were pretty and all but they didnāt block much of the wind for us.š
Today we marked off our eighth state on the tour as we entered Maryland. With thunderstorms and hail forecasted for tomorrow, we are contemplating a zero, nearo or a reroute. Stay tunedā¦
