As I sit here writing this I realized I didn’t take any pictures today. Such was the unspoken intensity of getting going I guess. We certainly travelled some scenic miles. We passed through Williamsburg and Jamestown. Along with Yorktown they makeup the so-called Historic Triangle of Virginia. It’s a very tourist-friendly area which means plenty of traffic on the Colonial Parkway. The parkway looks wide enough for at least three lanes but without any lines cars variously gave us plenty of room or whizzed by within an arms reach. Most of the day was spent on the Capital Trail, which looks to be fairly new. I think that’s why my Garmin GPS kept trying to reroute us. We planned on camping tonight because the information we had said the Willis Methodist Church no longer offered indoor sleeping space but within minutes of our arrival, Heather pulled up. She was on her way to her daughter's dance practice but let us in the church; showed us around; and,was on her way. She told us opening their doors to cyclists was part of their mission.
The weather was tolerable, 50’s; mostly cloudy for most of the day; but the 15 mph headwind with gusts much higher, was irritating at best and brutal in the open areas.
