Day 33 Final ride day!
Stopped at Port City Brewing with Julia, and a friend of Chris'
Final ride into Alexandria went well. Much of it, nearly all of it, is on off road trails or sidewalks (slower going due to pedestrians, bikes, and roots). There is still danger at many intersections.
Leaving Lorton, went past Fort Belvoir. Saluted it for Bill, I'm sure he remembers the place fondly. Went past several entrances, the place must be huge.
Past Mount Vernon. Endless idling tour busses. Washington once rode 60 miles somewhere, so he had us beat on this day, and he was on a horse so I'd think that's more challenging.
Arrived Alexandria!
Fine lunch at Irish pub. Moved on to coffee and then on to Port City Brewing to meet up with my niece and a friend of Chris that lives in town.
Checked into hotel.
Out to dinner. And the trip continues tomorrow with transportation back to Easton.
Note: Rented an Enterprise rental car Chrysler Pacifica
fit both bikes and us. drove to Easton 14th, my car home 15th.
Bike Shop:
Breakfast: [the next day before we drove home: Bob and Edith's, excellent on Julia's advice.
Lunch: Murphy's Grand Irish Pub Excellent beef stew, best meal of the trip. Coffee at: Misha's afterwards. Then on to Port City Brewing to meet Julia.
Hotel: Extended Stay America - Washington, D.C. - Alexandria - Eisenhower Ave.
Dinner:
Left the next day by rental car, after breakfast, a stop to see Luis and the apartment, and a stop to check out a house Julia was interested in. Good drive home, good Diner supper on the way, had pie, on Pie Day. Made it to Easton laterish though, after 10 i think. Returned the car the next day in Easton, and drove home to Londonderry, via Great Barrington, a good drive. A great trip.
