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 wasn’t the elevation but the consistent headwind. All. Day. Long. For 76 miles, almost all of it on one road.

And when we weren’t 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 “The Old Line State” was known as the “Breadbasket of the Revolution” during our country’s fight for independence. The wheat fields today were pretty and all but they didn’t block much of the wind for us.😂

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 tuned…

  2. I strongly recommend taking a zero. Rest your souls, legs, bottoms, and just enjoy the day. Sometimes the Lord gives us sabbath opportunities when we think there are challenges ahead.

    1. Oh we got a rest alright… decided to turn right around the next day, ride a tailwind before the rain hit and head back home to our family. This is why I like adulting. We get to make decisions we can live with. Good advice on the rest, Deacon! I sure hope we are following your back tire around the country sometime soon. Looking forward to following YOUR travels! 😉
