We woke to a windy day and ate breakfast before breaking camp. Elbow Room coffee started the day. Once packed up we headed into the wind, grinding our way to tonight’s camp.

The wind was brutal and forced us into the drops to move forward at a snail’s pace. Open space and the ocean do not slow the wind, so it hit full force. Call it practice for riding across Kansas.

We made it to camp and set the tents before the rain and I sat under shelter posting on Strava and eating a grinder that was carried to Cape Henlopen State Park. The rain stopped and we toured the military base and saw the ocean. It is now raining again as I write this post.
