At the turnaround point, I could have and should have gone half an hour out of my way to get to a (somewhat) flatter route for the ride back.
That is a long way with only 28oz of liquid. I was on the C&O close to you’re area and it got hot and humid the last few days of the ride from Pittsburgh I felt like I was back in Texas...
