210 miles to go. Over the Eastern Continental Divide today.

I made it over the Eastern Continental Divide and into Maryland, my 13th state. A fun ride along the Great Allegheny Passage, and then the C&O Canal towpath all the way to DC.

Naresh with the tandem at the Eastern Continental Divide tunnel — The Eastern Continental Divide, and a tunnel on the C&O.
