After some effort, yesterday’s blog was published. We had considerable difficulty making the
link to the photos work. It seems that
the computer gremlins were at work.
Before you wonder if we took a layover day, we did cycle 60
miles and ended up back at the same motel.
We originally planned to stay in Cape
Charles noon , we decided that we
preferred a nicer motel so we cycled 20 miles directly up route 13 to return to
the Holiday Inn Express. In hind sight,
we should have kept our motel room and not carried our bags.
Our day began as we continued cycling the bay side route
over flat roads thru farm lands. Our routes were taken from a book entitled Off
13: The Eastern Shore of Virginia Guide Book by Kirk Mariner. Route 13 runs down the center of Virginia’s
eastern shore and the book focuses on the historical structures that can been
seen while traveling the less traveled routes referred to as the bay side and
sea side routes. While we passed lots of
corn and wheat fields, today we also passed many nurseries. About half way into our journey, the bay side
routes ended so we crossed over route 13 and continued south on the sea side
routes. As with the prior days, we saw
many old homes and churches, some of them built in colonial days.
