Today was our first 30+ mile day since leaving D.C. It's been hard getting used to all the hills and traffic, both of which we didn't have to deal with while on the bike path. After a bit of riding through farmland, we stopped in Fredericksburg for lunch looking for cheap fast food, but instead found our way to a reasonably priced Chinese buffet. The meal went well, and for the first time in my life I have a little bit of faith in fortune cookies. After lunch we continued our ride through Fredericksburg where we were given a little history lesson, passing both the Fredericksburg national cemetary and a civil war battlefield. Tempers flared late in the day and I nearly banished bryce from the tour for obvious reasons, but he eventually came to his senses. We had hoped to make it to Richmond tomorrow, but after being set back by a few detours it's looking more like a Saturday arrival date as of now.
In the tent again. No fire again.
Goodnight.
