Day 41 - Cambridge to Easton

We enjoyed a nice short ride today. It was only about 20 miles from Cambridge to Easton.

We started with a short ride through the downtown of Cambridge.

There are lots of sailboats in Cambridge.

We were looking for a maritime museum and met these two guys working in a boatyard. They wanted to hear about out trip and our bike, so we didn't really talk about the boat they were restoring.

Ken and Steve - we enjoyed meeting you this morning.

Leaving Cambridge, we had a long bridge across the Choptank River. Fortunately, it had a good shoulder all the way across.

Highway 50, after the bridge, had a perfect shoulder with the rumble strips where they should be.

After a few miles on Hwy 50, we got off and took back roads to Easton. Every day we are so happy with the great roads we find.

There weren't many farms along today's route, but we saw these cool cows.

We got to Easton and decided to explore the downtown a bit. There was a lot of traffic, but it was all moving slowly.

There are beautiful homes lining residential streets.

We're going to stay here for three nights and have one riding day and one rest day. The high temperature tomorrow is expected to be 96, so we may make that the rest day. This is going to be a very short lived heat wave, with highs back in the low 70's in two days.

Today's ride: 26 miles (42 km)
Total: 1,402 miles (2,256 km)

Rich FrasierI think this must be the first bike journal I've ever read that covers Delaware! I'm enjoying it!

Jeanna & Kerry SmithTo Rich FrasierThanks, Rich. I'm glad you're enjoying it. We had no idea how good the cycling was on the Delmarva peninsula until we visited Fenwick Island, DE three years ago. We have a few more days here to tell you about before we take the ferry to New Jersey.

marilyn swettTo Jeanna & Kerry SmithOh, too bad. Sounds like a wonderful route but we're in Harrington, Delaware now (south of Dover) and leaving for the DC area tomorrow. We'll be there for 3 weeks before moving to Lancaster and the Finger Lakes. We do have to be in Ohio on July 17 to have work done on the trailer at the factory.
