Day 47 - Maryland

Friday August 2 is the second to last day of the Big Ride.  We entered our 12th and final State today, Maryland.  Only 8.8 miles after leaving Gettysburg we reached the Maryland State line along SR 134.  The roads we busy but in excellent condition.  The terrain was hilly, but nothing like what we saw the few days before Gettysburg. The total distance traveled today was 62.6 miles.  The weather was cool when we started out at 0630 and warmed to about 82 degrees by the time we reached Poolesville.  We arrived in plenty of time to take advantage of the county pool and even out our tans.  Tomorrow is a mere 40 miles to DC and the end of the Big Ride.
