D Day

Rides around World War Two battlefields. Mainly european, but a handful of Pacific Rim rides.

On 8 December, after a long retreat through New Jersey, George Washington crossed the Delaware River
from NJ to Pennsylvania, completing one of the most successful retreats
in history. Washington's retreat enabled him to preserve his small
force and launch surprise attacks later in the month.

Try PA SR 32 from Kintnersville to Washington's Crossing. Or, if you are in NJ, try NJ State Route 29 from Frenchtown, NJ to Trenton, NJ to follow the river, get in some nice twisties and get a good idea of the task that faced Washington.

On 10 December, Union General William Tecumseh Sherman reached Savannah after carving a 40 mile wide swath through Southeast Georgia. Sherman declared Savannah a "Christmas present" for President Lincoln.
