After our windy 76 mile ride to Easton we walked to a nearby restaurant and on the way over, resolved to take the next day off because of forecasted hail, thunderstorms and more headwind.

By the time our bevvies arrived we’d already started looking at “what ifs”.

By the time our salad and burrito bowl arrived we decided to “about face”, schedule an earlier train out of Wilmington, ride just two more days and get home four days early. Done and done! In fact I’m writing this while enjoying local pizza with Tom on our deck watching the sun set.

We will miss riding on the east side of the Delmarva Peninsula but have visited many of those towns before when we ran marathons in Rehoboth Beach and near Ocean City. Plus, now we don’t need to ride all the way back to Philly where the traffic is all snarled up due to the collapsed I-95 interstate bridge.

Another plus… Tom gets back in time to play in a pickleball league. Yay!

Thanks so much for your prayers, encouragement, questions and comments. The year’s not even half over and we’ve got two bike tours under our belts. Time to tend to the garden, play pickleball and spend time with the fam!
