Here We Go

June 2, 2012

Day 1

Rained during the night but by 6 am it was clear and starting to dry. Pulled out of the drive at 6:40 and into the Hardees at 7:40 am and crossed the Bay Bridge at 8:30 heading out to play. We opted for 301 south and then twisting and turning on 218 to Fredericksburg. Bonnie had found a place to stop and eat in a Food magazine in Stauntan which was fantastic; Wright’s Dairy Rite and we reached Stauntan by 1:30 and found the parking lot full and every booth inside full. We were not disappointed – great food. After an hour we were back on the road with 88 miles to go in order to reach Salem VA for the night. I don’t really care to ride super highways but 81 south was not bad today and the views are hard to explain. Mountains on both sides with the sun streaming over the crest and shadows dancing down the sides making one range appear like two. Total miles 330 today.
