After weeks of mostly flat cycling, today was a throwback. I thought I was back in the Texas hill country. Over thirty miles of up and down with very little conservation of energy with momentum carrying the bike over the next hill. Add to that was the increased wind.
Even with the negative riding conditions, I made it to Fredericksburg and picked up my general delivery package at the post office. It contained maps for the rest of the tour which I had put in a prepaid priority mail box which Emillie Gunsaulus mailed when I got close enough to Fredericksburg to pick it up. However the best part was the care package of Emillie's special chocolate chip cookies inside with the maps. What a sweet heart. Already, there are some missing.
Tomorrow I hope to be in, or beyond, Washington DC.
