Today we completed the last of the steps to get to the start of the trail. We returned our rental car to the Newport News/Williamsburg Airport within the one day rental agreement. A minor crisis was averted when Steve realized I had plugged another airport, Norfolk International Airport, into my phone! Then we rode less than10 miles, past the Yorktown Battlefield Park, to Yorktown. We’re staying at a house owned by Grace Episcopal Church that has a history of hosting touring cyclists. It’s also the final resting place of General Thomas Nelson, Jr.; founding father and hero of Yorktown. Anyway, We’re the first bikers to occupy the house since last year. The last log entries are from east bound bikers who finished here. John, our host asks for nothing except that we pull the sheets off the beds and lock up. What a wonderful service his church provides! There’s rain in the forecast but mainly overnight. Tomorrow we hope to cover 61 miles and spend the night at another church with a similar arrangement. Looking foreword to it.
Ceremonial start!
