Chester to Camden

Yesterday  was a tough day but I had ridden that same route a few years ago and I knew it was going to be tough.  Today’s ride was and unknown but I knew it was going to be tough as well.  It was by far the toughest.  It was shorter by ten miles but had some of the steepest and longest hills.  I’m talking about 3-4 mile grinds that just killed your legs and spirt.  Today though, I was able to help Susan through it.  Somehow we never get down at the same time and we always can pull through.  The highlight today was a lunch break at the Kickstand, a biker bar.  Not bicycle, but motorcycle.  A few came out and talked to us about our trip. 


Tonight we are in a hotel and that almost makes it worth it.

Today’s stats:
61.8 miles
6:46 hrs/min.
34.9 max
9.2 avg mph

    I still think you guys are bonkers!! Looks like you have had good weather until now. I think I would make the next couple of nights a B&B. A tent could be a soggy experience! Stay safe.
    Craig.
