It was dark, warm and humid (67\u00b0 & 95% humidity)\"DSCN6697\"<\/a> when we emerged from our motel room this morning.\"DSCN6700\"<\/a> \u00a0The forecast was for hot, so we wanted an early start, but in reality someone<\/em> was hoping to go further than the planned 50 miles. \u00a0The highway was quiet as usual for a\u00a0Sunday morning,\"DSCN6708\"<\/a> though we still had ample shoulder. \"IMG_1097\"<\/a>\u00a0Once again, there was not a lot to see\"DSCN6706\"<\/a> (other than the changing morning sky),\"DSCN6709\"<\/a> but we’d settled nicely into\u00a0riding the slightly rolling hills. \"DSCN6722\"<\/a>\u00a0The breeze we created from pedaling was easily cooling the moisture on our skin,\"DSCN6698\"<\/a>\u00a0 it wasn’t quite this cool,\u00a0<\/em>though the sun did stay behind the clouds\"DSCN6716\"<\/a> until well after nine.<\/p>\n

Shortly after 11:00, we reached the edge of the town \"DSCN6723\"<\/a>where we’d originally planned to stay. \u00a0An early lunch and rest was in order, plus we had to\u00a0plan our route from here; after all, it was too early to stop. \u00a0When we left from lunch, it was still cool (82\u00b0) in the shade, but out on the highway the sun was hot<\/strong><\/em> and the traffic had picked up. \u00a0A quick turn on to a country road\"DSCN6727\"<\/a> and quiet (and farms)\"DSCN6734\"<\/a> returned. \u00a0Though it was hot and we were tiring, we still were enjoying the ride today, but we were more than happy it did not last\u00a0any longer than 67 miles.<\/p>\n

Our twenty extra miles was motivated by the Thai restaurant conveniently located across the street from the hotel. \u00a0Little did we know, they are closed on Sunday. \u00a0We settled for Chinese and were looking forward to a good night’s sleep.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
