My first ride on vacation at Rehoboth Beach started out with a Solo Ride down to Ocean City, Maryland. What is total irony is that while I was stationed at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, MD not once did I ever make it to Ocean City. So, today, 25 years later I rode down there to see what it's like.
It had rained the night before and the roads were wet making it a really cool morning. As I road south I was really moving and didn't encounter any wind as I was expecting.
In fact, I rode 25 miles at an average speed of 19 miles an hour! The one upsetting thing was that the Cannondale wouldn't shift out of the outer ring unless I used my foot to tap the derailleur so I stayed in the big ring the whole time. Once I turned around is when everything went to hell ...
