Gettysburg PA to Gaithersburg MD 99km 1134m vertical climb

The day off to look round Gettysburg did our legs good. The roads were still wet from the storm in the night that had woken us both up and the forecast was for unsettled weather, but it turned sunny and remained dry the whole day. The hills were not as steep and high for the first hour but that changed after Taneytown and, thereafter, the terrain was similar to Tuesday’s ride. When we arrived in Gaithersburg we had done nearly as much hill climbing as on Tuesday and a few kilometres more and with the temperature at around 26C coupled with high humidity we were somewhat dehydrated. Fortunately, a bar/Indian restaurant not far from our motel enabled us to rectify the hydration problem in no time at all. Time for Thursday night football……………………

The sun is actually shining which is great after all the rain we have had.
Take care xx
