I rode up to Philadelphia, PA over the long weekend (took Friday and Monday off). Went up to see a free concert featuring Adrian Belew and They Might be Giants. And of course, an excuse for a road trip.

I stopped in Fredericksburg, VA to visit relatives. I went up US-1 most of the way, with a couple blasts along
I-95. The best way to describe it was Very Very Warm. Managed to empty out the 2liter Camelback on the way up, along with more than a few bottles of water. US-1 is pretty boring.

Left at 7am to head up to PA. Took mostly 95, since I had a schedule to keep. Though bits of the way on 1/301/3.
Got there in plenty of time, checked in the hotel, and started wandering around Old Town Philly. Wandered around the area a bit. Put off waiting in the multi block long security line to see the Liberty Bell and such.

Show was right beside the river (Penns Landing). The Adrian Belew show was as a power trio and seemed to work pretty well. A couple of new songs, and three or four King Crimson songs. Very cool.

Headliners were They Might Be Giants. I’m not actually all that familiar with They Might Be Giants despite having seen them live once or twice. But they put on a very enjoyable show.

On the way home, stopped at Fort Meade as the last post shows. Also wandered around D.C for no particular reason.
Again, it was Very Very Warm. 99F according to one of the bank signs I passed.

The bad thing is I seem to have picked up some sort of stomach virus.

Overall, the trip was about 850 miles.
