The climate riders left Holtwood,PA, with lots of energy and enthusiasm, taking in wonderful views of the surrounding farms and then the Holtwood Dam. With these views came a lot of hill climbing. And I do mean a lot. I am afraid I don't have any extra pictures for the day other than the ones I tweeted, and that's because I spent the whole day pedaling. Okay, I also had to walk some of the steeper hills. Northern Maryland is known as horse country and I think that's because the hills are too steep for tractors to till the soil!!!!
Our ride directions said we had an elevation gain of 2500 ft. I think it was double. But I am not complaining, just commenting. The ride was great. But it was nice to pull into the Pearlstone conference center where a hot shower, good food and a comfy bed awaited.
Tomorrow, it's on to DC.
Anyone who is in the DC area should check http://www.climateride.org for information on how to join us!
