The only thing out of the ordinary was that we rode much of the day as we did early in the trip...without Kim and the support group. We were close to Monticello, so she and the kids decided to hit it up in the morning. We did not end up crossing paths until we were nearly 70 miles into the ride. We managed to do without the support, but we sure did miss Kim's smiling face every 25-30 miles.
We are in Ashland tonight and with only 105 miles to go, are planning to have an average day of 70 miles tomorrow, staying in Williamsburg, and a short day of 35 into Yorktown on Friday. I just hope everything goes off without trouble....much like it has the entire trip. We are still planning to start early on both days, with temperatures forecasted to be 98 in Williamsburg tomorrow and 103 degrees in Yorktown on Friday.
That is it. I am out. We will surely have some good, touristy kind of stuff to report tomorrow from Williamsburg. We are staying close to the part of town with all of the historic things. I apologize for not having Kim do this entry, but she and the kids are in the exercise room, working up a sweat. For two more days.........
This is Anna at Monticello. It is actually not small enough to fit in her hand. This is trick photography. No way Thomas Jefferson could have lived in there if it were that small.

We crossed this lake three times today. It was called Lake Anna. Anna kind of liked that.
This was a plaque that was outside of a church where Kim and the kids picked us up today at the end of our ride.
The church that the plaque described.
