Our uneventful ride today continued across the Great Valley between the Ridge and Valley Appalachians to our west and the Blue Ridge ahead. We rode 50 miles of hilly terrain without a net gain or loss of more than a few hundred feet. As we found yesterday, some of these little hills have some bite: 10%, 14%, ... whatever. We just trudge over them, and today we didn't need to stop or walk any.
One notable thing about today's route is that there wasn't a single gas station, convenience store, or restaurant anywhere between the starting and ending towns. As we've travelled east, there have been more rest stop places; not today.Our lunch was pop tarts alongside the road.
After settling into a Howard Johnson's Motel (did you know they still have those?) we had an excellent Mexican dinner across the street.
