ny biker, I'm the one in Bethesda
As a total aside, not to hijack - I just spent the weekend in Bethany and rode Rt 1 to Ocean City, it's a 32 mile round trip. Going there was fine, but on the way back I had a fierce, and I mean fierce, headwind the whole way. I thought I would never make it back.

Glad to know I'm not completely crazy.

I think wind is generally the challenge on the Eastern Shore. I personally prefer hills to headwinds, but either one will make you stronger.

Continuing the hijack - I live in Bethany, and am very familiar with the wind situation on Rt. 1. Since that is the only way to get to different towns, we always have to deal with wind. It may have been Lance Armstrong who coined the phrase "Hills make you strong, but wind makes you mean!" Originally Posted by leah
