I rode the Over to Dover 200K permanent route solo. The weather for the first day of spring was spectactular. I even got a touch of sunburn on my face and upper arms. The farmland that dominates this route was very scenic. Probably less than 10 miles total on any road with substantial traffic. The rest is rolling past farm land, the ocassional golf course, and streams full of snow melt. Riding alone added several challenges: 1) No one to share drafting duty with while riding in to the wind. 2) No one to challenge me to do better up the hills. 3) It was just a little lonely with no one to talk to. But it was also satisfying to be completely self sufficient. See the blog for a more complete write up.
