Surprisingly, cool (67°) considering the bright sunshine that greeted us this morning.  We headed out on the highway, hoping that Saturday’s traffic would not be as heavy.  Traffic wasn’t bad, but there was really nothing to see; struggled to find something to take a picture of.  We resorted to counting banana peels (15) and bungee cords (lost track at 50).  After 22 miles, we needed a break.  The country road was instantly quieter and greener.  A short pedal through the hamlet of Hamlet and then back on the highway.  The last eight mile stretch was on the Historic Lincoln Highway.  Of course, the country road added a couple miles and a few hills, just to work our legs on today’s short ride.  But we also enjoyed pretty homes and Saturday yard sales. Once reaching the town of Plymouth,there was plenty to see. Note the price of gas; wonder what year that was?!

Way too early to check in (even with the time zone change), so we stopped for lunch, (check out the real turkey on this club) once again being served much more than expected (or needed)…..but OH, so good.

This is so bad; the next pictures we have are for dinner……we really do not spend our entire day eating.  Though there are two “family” diners  nearby, we craved a beer and glass of wine for dinner.  The three miles roundtrip (which we add to get to our 45 mile total) was worth it.
