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.
It was everything I expected. Not since PBP 2007 did I suffer so much on a bike ride. Fuck that. With more time and better weather the route is very pleasant. Few turns, good roads and a nice pace between towns. Here's my map and near finalized cue sheet. WARNING! Page 3 is the route back. Page 1 and 2 is the route out.
