<p>19 Sep 08, Stickpile Hill campground, MD

<p>A long day and a late night makes this a short entry. I rode 87 miles
today--very good! I got started just after 8:30 and rolled into camp about 6 or
6:30. I decided to keep going at the end of the day because I felt fine, and I
know I'll have to climb the <a href="http://www.atatrail.org/">GAP</a> out of
Cumberland tomorrow.

<p>On the people front, I met another <a
href="http://www.adventurecycling.org/about-us/history/bikecentennial-summer-of-1976/">Bikecentennialist</a>
(Bikecentenarian?) today, outside a bike store in Hancock. I also stopped into
<a href="http://rivercitycyclesinc.com/">River City Cycles</a> to pick up some
spare bolts & a rearview mirror, and ended up talking with the owner/operator
for like 10-15 minutes. He's a very nice guy who obviously knows & loves what he
does.
