Three days of rest for the vacation and I'm ready to go back. The way back was not as eventful as the way out. I woke up late. Real late. Didn't leave Philly until 1PM and I had to catch the ferry at 7PM. That's 6 hours to cycle 85 miles. And the weather forecast was for rain at 5PM. Sounds AWESOME. I also had a 10 pound load (including laptop computer) and no matter which way I turned there was a headwind from the north. <p /> It was everything I expected. Not since PBP 2007 did I suffer so much on a bike ride. Fuck that. <p /> With more time and better weather the route is very pleasant. Few turns, good roads and a nice pace between towns. <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=106643782940848623407.000462801eb9159b52b1f&z=9">Here's my map</a> and near <a href="http://drop.io/philly_ride5018/asset/philly-cue-sheet-reverse-pdf" title="philly-cue-sheet-reverse-pdf">finalized cue sheet</a>.
