48 mile charity ride yesterday. Way more hills than I was prepared for and a good 15 miles longer than any other ride I'd done since last fall, but it was in one of my favorite areas to ride, near the Chesapeake Bay, and the weather was great.

Early in the ride a Maryland State Police officer pulled me over and told me to move to the shoulder of the road. I responded by asking what I was supposed to do when the road had no shoulder, as was the case here. We had a nice chat about safe road position for cyclists when there is no shoulder and the lane is not wide enough for a car to pass with the legally required 3 feet of clearance without crossing the center line.
