Robert, it's good to hear from you. +1, on the being missed on the 4th.
Thanks for sharing your ride.

BiM is getting "on my last nerve". Apparently, I have entered into the realm of mileage and time where it can't process elevation. Grrrrr!
So, add that problem to the list that already has on it the inability to process out stops.
For today (can't process out stops on this map by design):
My butt still hasn't healed from the July 4th weekend, so what do I do? Another 11+ hours in the saddle.
This ride started and ended at my front porch. I rode to Eastern Ave and headed for Rt 43;
Rt 43
Rt 40 (Pulaski Hwy)
Rt 152 Mountain Rd
Rt 1 crossing the Conowingo Dam
Rt 222 to Port Deposit/Bainbridge Rd/Rt 222 - ran into a "multisport" race in progress. I found myself in the middle of their bike leg. Ummm, tri-weenies are slow! LOL!
The course marshals thought I was in the race, but I had lights a-blazing and my MP3 player in my phone blasting. LOL! Did I mention tri-weenies are slow?!
[Harry, I'm just kidding!]
[A search of Google shows that it was the Diamond in the Rough Triathlon - http://www.piranha-sports.com/Race44.aspx ]
Rt 40 at Perryville -> North East -> Elkton
Rt 213 to Chesapeake City - crossing the C&D canal using this bridge got a few angry horn blasts. Ef'em! It's not prohibited for bikes.
Rt 286 (becomes Bethel Church Rd in Delaware)
Rt 15 Choptank Rd
Churchtown Rd
Rt 71 Summit Bridge Rd
Rt 299 in Middletown, DE to Odessa, DE
Rt 9 (heading back now) to Port Penn, then Delaware City
Rt 72 Wrangler Hill Rd
Rt 40 to Glasgow, DE -> Elkton -> North East -> Perryville
Rt 222 in Perryville -> Bainbridge Rd in Port Deposit -> Rt 222
Rt 1 crossing the Conowingo Dam -> Bel Air Bypass -> Belair Rd
Rt 152
Rt 40
... home -> pass out in front of the TV after a quick shower and a couple of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
It was windy today. Between the saddle sores and the wind, it really started to wear on me.
Batteries are charged and clothes are washed. I'm ready for tomorrow.
It'll be a very short one and slow.
