The first 27 miles of the ride was quite busy with traffic and some road construction. Then we were on a bike path for 6.5 miles (pic) and then rode on some quiet country roads. The terrain was a little hillier because we have left the coast. The last 15 miles was on US 90 with more traffic.
My roommate tonight is Connie from Charlottesville, VA. She's a semi-retired attorney who does real estate law. She has 2 children and 5 grandchildren and they all live close to her. Her husband surprised us one night and sent rum cakes that he had made. Connie said that at Christmastime (from Dec. 1- Dec. 21st), he makes over 2,000 rum cakes that get shipped all over. The next bike trip she has planned is the Horsey 100 in Kentucky at the end of May.
Tomorrow's ride is another long one (~94 miles). Once that is over, we can rest a little easier with the end in sight.
Wow, you were close to dad's house. Wow, the end is in sight! I can't believe has fast
ReplyDeletethis went! Let's do dinner when you get back - John said he'd like to join us.

Watch out for those gators with that high water they may be lying in wait. Almost as bad as those damn cars with no beak down lane. I'd be scared stiff with all those old people out in cars.
