What a way to begin my day, Don came to visit for less then 24 hours while I was in Virginia Beach. He saw me off in the cool 50 degree temperatures and overcast sky. I was appropriately dressed for the cool temperatures and not for snow, thank you very much Michel!
Our ride today took us out of town on some busy roads, but nothing we c
ouldn't handle. We hit quite a few stop lights but all in all the roads were great. About 20 miles into our ride today, we crossed another state line, North Carolina.

About 20 miles into our ride today, we crossed another state line, North Carolina.It actually tried to rain, but only a few drops fell, which means this is only the second day of cycling since beginning our adventure without any rain. In fact this afternoon the sun came out and someone switched off the wind machine. We even had some tail winds when we road across the bridge and into Kitty Hawk.
Speaking of Kitty Hawk, we went to see the momument to the Orville brothers before going to our Hotel. Now I understand why they used this location, it is extrememly windy where they launched their first planes. What makes this even more interesting is that the brothers originally sold bicycles in Ohio.
Our ride today was 77 miles that took about 5 hours and 15 minutes. Also I didnt see any snakes today, just really small smooched frogs. 
Not sure I could handle the cool temps. It was 58 this morning for the commute and 80 for the ride home. This Texas girl like 100 degree temps!
