Day 11
Monday, 13 July 2020
Elkton, MD to Chestertown, MD
43.2 miles, 3h37m, 12.0 mph
Elapsed Time: 4h27m, Max speed: 32.0mph
Total Climbing: 1017ft, Max elevation: 138ft
Total mileage: 598.1
I got a late start because this would be a fairly short run down
to Chestertown. The big climb of the day
(not recognized by my Garmin) was the bridge over the C&D
Canal. There was lots of high-speed traffic and no
shoulder, so I took the sidewalk.
And I actually walked. The sidewalk was too narrow for riding
considering the winds that were kicked up by passing trucks.
And they way they bounce the bridge.
Otherwise there was not a lot of scenery. Lots of farmland.
Some fix-er-up-ers.
I was in Chestertown a bit after noon and tooled around town a
bit. This is former major league local boy Bill Nicholson,
whom I had never heard of.
I missed the court house the first time I rode by. It is hidden
amongst a bunch of churches.
I have a long day tomorrow with four courthouses on the docket.
