DC to Pennsylvania Ride - June 18, 2024

These pictures were taken with my Panasonic Lumix FZ80 on the roads in Maryland and Pennsylvania on June 18, 2024. Images are shown at a resolution of 800x600.

My event in DC ended at 12:30, followed by a lunch in the nearby neighborhood (Nando's - very good!). It was about 1:30, I was going only as far as the Harrisburg area for a baseball game and had about double the needed time to do it. A more ambitious plan to start by finishing off I-66 and US 1 in DC looked like a Very Bad Idea in afternoon traffic, so I left DC via Massachusetts Ave, and took some MD 396 and MD 190 back out to the beltway. It was the beltway around to US 1, where I filled in a bit of that route up to MD 32, which I took over to US 29. US 29/I-70/I-695 (including a lengthy delay on the I-70 to I-695 ramp) took me to I-795 for my first ride up that route. At its northern end, I cut over to MD 30 and took that and PA 94 all the way up into Carlisle. This ride was slow at times, and is a route I won't need to take again. I went through Carlise on US 11 to my hotel right near the turnpike exit. I checked in then went right back out to get to the Harrisburg Senators game on City Island. I was able to fill in a couple gaps on the rides out and back, taking the turnpike for one exit to fill in an I-76 gap, and US 11 back to Carlisle to fill that in.
