Richmond, VA to Fredericksburg, VA - 74 Miles

Today's numbers - Zero miles for me. Forecast - 100% chance of rain, and it actually started raining before we left the parking .

Six in the van from the start.  When the van arrived at the first SAG stop, the riders were wet and cold. Cue sheets were wet and hard to read.

Two riders hopped in at mile 15 - cold and wet.  And at mile 17, 2 more riders hopped in the van.

Loading bikes on roof rack before leaving the hotel - the non riders 



My bike ready for the rack


Murals across the street from hotel


It rain all day.

At two o'clock the van pulled in with 6 more riders that called it quits.  Some riders were out there.


Dinner - They ordered pizzas and made salad.  Ate in the hotel breakfast area, too cold and wet outside.

Tomorrow - I will wait to hear the weather forecast before I decide to ride 

I want to ride my bicycle
  I want to ride my bike
  I want to ride my bicycle
  I want to ride it where I like
