Fredericksburg, VA to Alexandria, VA - Done

Breakfast at the Quality Inn -Raisin Bran

Mulch bike path - walked it, very wet and uneven.


Paved bike path


Hills, Traffic, Road Construction, Sore Knee

  Ride as much or as little, or as long or as short as you feel. But ride. Eddy Merckx,

I only rode part of the day, hills were not friendly to my left knee. So I was an Assistant to today's SAG, Lorna.  Lots of fun but I'm not very good at it.  Rookie mistakes, good thing I was in the passenger seat.

So I appointed myself SAG Photographer for the day  






















I may have found my calling.

Arrived in Alexandria at 4:30 and checked into the hotel.

Alas, no more riding for me.  Tomorrow, my bike, luggage and I must make our way to Washington, D.C. 

TAXI!  TAXI!  TAXI!  

I have all day to get to DC and check into the Hotel Harrington aka the "Tourist Hotel".  I'm meeting Mare's train at Union Station at 6:51 pm
