Had a great beginning to the journey as I rode from Yorktown to Jamestown. Good roads, splendid scenery. Made the acquaintance of a friendly sheriff when I considered ignoring a road closed sign. I jad already turned back towards the detour when he came rolling up. I'd seen him about a half mile back. He must have known that I would consider it. Do I always look that guilty? I managed to loose my way a couple of times but nothing big. I'm riding on country roads and there are a lot of turns. Some odd things happened in Charles City which is really just a gas station: I got to talking to a guy and he asked that I call him when I get to SF so he knows that I made it. And then a guy took a picture of me with his cell phone. Hmm...I don't think they get out much in Charles City. To celebrate rolling 100 miles, WL decided to break a front spoke. I think he just wanted attention. It was at mile 99.8. Grrr! The afternoon was hot and I was so glad to arrive in Mineral, VA. I'm camping in a field behind the fire dept. The firemen are great. They let me shower and use their kitchen. Big love coming from me! The sun has set and I'm beat after 150 miles today. I don't think I want to do that again anytime soon! Depending on how I feel, I may climb the Blueridge mtns tomorrow. We'll see.
