BWI Airport
Today was definitely a different type of riding. "Out" are the deer and sounds of nature. "In' are the close-passing cars and traffic lights. Riding in conditions like this is tiring because your focus needs to be so sharp. They are not my favorite ride days.
But I made it from D.C. to Baltimore.
The biggest challenge of the day was getting around the Baltimore-Washington International Airport. I took a separate bike path away from my support van, but trying to find it later was not easy. Getting lost in the middle of what seemed to be a million cars following the short-term and long-term parking signs for about thirty minutes was not fun. On a bike, turning around and going another way is just not a fast proposition. After pedaling a couple of miles off course, I finally got my bearings and got going the right way on 170.
Phew.
