This morning went very well. We walked out of the bedroom and I heard the distinct sound of bacon frying, the smell of coffee, and the sight of people cooking in the kitchen. They were preparing us a delicious breakfast of eggs, biscuits, sausage, bacon, coffee, and o.j. We left warm, well-fed, and with smiles on our faces. We also got hooked up by Meredith's brother, who has a friend further down the route. We decided to take a short 24 mile day and make use of the generous offer of Andy and Debbie.
We rode together for most of the day, through back roads with not much shoulder. Mostly swampland. Then, with such short mileage, we stopped in a county park and hung out in the sun for a few hours; had some lunch, looked at maps, tinkered with bikes. It was very relaxing.
We showed up at Andy and Debbie's house with nice open fields to pitch our tents, a shower, water, and some home-made chicken pot. Extra special chicken pot pie, where Andy cooks a beercan chicken, then Debbie makes the pot pie with that. Absolutely delicious!
Tomorrow we are hoping for a longer day, at least 40, depending on where we end up camping.
