Day 48, Wednesday, 10 July, Cumberland, MD to Capon Springs, WV
Today's ride was mostly country roads in the hills of WV. The first 20 miles was on WV 28, which was decent and better than the description a fellow at a bike store in Cumberland gave. The remaining miles were mostly winding back roads with wonderful views. The disadvantage is that we climbed and descended repeatedly. Louis thought that today's ride was harder than Teton Pass. We escaped getting caught in a thunderstorm when an anonymous woman let us store our bikes in her greenhouse and sit in her shed.
We cross the C&O Canal Towpath
The Potomac
The tag line is perfect
