Ahhh, what a life...
24 April - Dahlgren to Tappahannock VA: foggy -> sunny, 70s; 8:30-5:10; 55.6 miles
The day's worst three mile served as bookends on the day. We started by fighting heavy traffic for two miles on foggy US301, which lost its shoulder at the Potomac.; crossing the Rappahannock River with heavy traffic on a narrow US360 bridge took us to Tappahannock to end the day.
In between we reveled in a magnificent day. Our state highway bobbed and weaved through Potomac forests and past Tidewater farms. In Colonial Beach we picked up lunch fixings, and had a picnic overlooking the water in George Washington Birthplace National Monument. Later we stopped at a roadside fruit stand, snacking on fresh strawberries while the owner served us ice water.

Keep it up guys...don't forget that if it's too cold and rainy along the northern route, you can always drop down to Austin for a visit. Good luck with the ride.
