We woke up to find that it was still raining out and we were both really sick of rain. The weather channel's forecast looked bleak so we headed out to eat some breakfast. When we finished, we moped while packing up our bikes, checked out of the hotel, and started another day's journey in the rain.
The sky eventually cleared up, and the weather wasn't quite as dreary. However, by the time the weather had cleared up, Tim had heard gunshots in the woods. We weren't exactly comfortable with that fact, so we kept pushing on until we had biked 60 miles. We decided we weren't comfortable camping in the area, so we routed the GPS to a nearby hotel. To our surprise, when we arrived where the GPS said there was a hotel, there was nothing there. We were quite confused, and after ten chilly miles of wandering around in search of a hotel, we found a Days Inn and got a room. We were starving so we immediately went to eat. On the walk back to the hotel, we met three frenchmen who were amazed that we were biking across the country. We eventually arrived back at the hotel and laid around reading our books. 69.92 miles.
Time with Tim:
RAIN STILL. As we set to depart in the rain, Perry decided to see if pulling her tube valve out of the little hole would make it inflate faster. It didn't. I then replaced said tube with our only spare and made a mental note to buy more. Biking was uneventful, the weather cleared and showed us some sun. The truck driving masses were exerting dominance over the deer in the region, so we decided to motel it. The marked hotel on the map was non-existent so a 5 mile detour was required to find a hotel. The highlight of the evening was hot-tubbing outside the windows of a family restaurant! Perry thought we could wash our clothes in the tub and hang dry them but....
