Well…my human and I rode today from Willmington to Havre de Grace, Maryland. We rode…my other brother Clyde and his human, however, rode the van. Sigh…cold and flu season struck his human’s rider, so my other brother Clyde rode the route of shame on the roof of the van. It is too bad, today’s riding was quite nice. Some busy roads, but big wide shoulders. And definitely not as busy as coming out of New York or Philidelphia.
We missed their company but we joined them to cross the Susquehanna River as bikes are not allowed on the bridge. Seriously? Put a bridge on your route, but bicycles are forbidden? At least we are travelling with a group so the final transport over the river was easy. If you are not with a group, your options are a city bus, Amtrak or Uber.
Which brings me to …. if you’re not with a group …. tomorrow could be a problem. A problem with the name Ophelia, Tropical Storm Ophelia. 1-3″ of rain; 30-50mph gusts. Tomorrow, vanning it will definitely not be a ride of shame….it will be the wise choice. Hopefully we’ll be back on the road again Sunday.
