hi cc. The Tour de Chesapeake was fun. Very low-key and family oriented. Because there are only so many roads and so many places to go, there were lots of out-and-back sections, most of them ending at a beach or a pier of some kind. I combined the three main loops for a bit over 85 miles. (I ended up on an unnecessary detour back to the starting point, which accounts for the extra.) The ride used a map and color-coded road signs instead of cue sheets, supposedly for environmental reasons. That was different for me, but it worked out OK. As advertised it was super flat. The main issue I had was not having an excuse to get up out of the saddle enough, so I had to be careful not to let my rear end go to sleep
