Williamsburg, VA to Richmond, VA - 66 Miles

Cool this morning, I got to wear my long sleeve jersey and warm cycling gloves.  Sunny all day and terrific bike path for 52 miles, it was awesome.

Breakfast at the hotel scrambled eggs, bacon, fresh fruit, coffee.  I also had 2 of Suzanne's ham biscuits - very good.

The numbers - average speed 11 MPH (we took our time and enjoyed the bike path); mileage 66.2.  The max speed per the computer was 46.6 - computer is wacky again; ride time 5 hours and 57 minutes.

We had to back track 10 miles today - Williamsburg to Jamestown.  We got on the beautiful bike path at Jamestown and it ended when we arrived at Richmond.

Tonight's hotel is a Quality Inn - pretty much a dump. No it's a dump.

Dinner in the parking lot -



Tortellini salad


Pasta, chicken, manderin orange and spinach salad 


100 percent chance of rain tomorrow.
