Day 6: Marring Maryland

Last night I set up camp on a cold windy hilltop church yard. I biked hard this morning to make it to Maryland. The roads in Maryland are generally less steep than Pensilvania, and I know I'm getting better at peddling them. Guess it's good conditioning for Virginia, from the people I've talked to so far they say Pensilvania and Virginia have some of the most difficult biking on this route. Anyway right now I'm preoccupied with the biking particularly the climbing, once it becomes more automatic for me I can start to discus other topics. Tonight I'm sleeping in a forest surrounded by mansions outside a northern suburb of Baltimore. In 6 days I've learned it's very easy to find a place to pitch a tent out of sight almost anywhere.
