Day 1 - 68.63 miles
(Yorktown, VA to Glendale, VA)
First, a special thanks to our friend Josh for driving a long way to Virginia so we could camp out "for free" near Yorktown. After dipping our back tires in the Atlantic, we started riding. First stop, colonial Williamsburg. Then, riding in the hot summer sun (summer starts a day early down here), getting hot and having decided to park under the next big tree, we came upon an oasis. For the next two hours, we swam in a pool, napped on lounge chairs, and talked on our cell phones. Although eight weeks at the Charles City public pool was tempting, we pulled ourselves away from our heavenly find, rode another forty miles, and now are completely pooped.
