Tom and I rode 35 miles today. We did the typical head down into Camden, left onto whatever that road is, and into Sommersville. We had a nice tailwind helping us out, so we were cruising around 19 mph. We crossed 127 shortly after Sommersville, and made a right on that other road (what do you want from me, people?!). This was a pretty cool road, until a decent hill jumped out at me from NOWHERE. So up we go. And up some more. And then Tom saved a snake (which he didn't do on our previous ride...heartless jerk). And then up some more. Then we turned onto another road and headed up some more. Now at this point I know we're headed back into Camden, and Camden lies down on the river (pretty much...) and so where are we going to lose all of this elevation? Well, we finally make a right onto that other other road, and head down through a dark, forested road. Very cool ride, actually, and then down some more, and some more. So that's where we lost all the elevation we had gained. Anyways, we head back into Camden where I snag a refill of water and Tammy's Camden Kitchen (or something like that). Then we headed towards Gratis, but not quite to Gratis, as we turned right onto Quaker Trace (there, you happy?), into West Elkton, and back home through Rush Run. It was a good ride.
