Day 27 New state: VA (final state!) Long day. 86+miles. Steady head wind. Made for a 5:30pm arrival for me, only half hour or so to spare before sunset. Chris had the room all checked in and a Dr Pepper waiting so it was all worth it. New State: VA! (Could be the final state if i don't continue past Alexandria) In the end a very nice route on some nice "back" roads. Only a little of dreaded NC 17. Including a 2 mile bridge. We got very lucky on that since some bridge work had the right lane of the two lanes closed to traffic, but not actually blocking us from having it all to ourselves. A perfect bit of luck. This was a home brewed route since the official route was over 100 miles and would have involved camping overnight around the 50 mile mark. This saved a day, 20ish miles, and camping. No ferry, though we passed a historic ferry landing. The Duck Thru at mile 51 was good for a 1/2 sub stop, a Klondike Bar, and a rest room. Now, if we could just have a nice day and no headwind... Insert something pithy about biking here. Bike Shop: Breakfast: Lunch: Hotel: Quality Inn & Suites Dinner: Pizza via Door Dash. Link to Chris on Strava: https://www.strava.com/activities/10913085836
