Today has been spent riding along the coast, then away, then back to. That is due in large part to the fact that Camp Le Juene does not allow bicycles/or non military traffic through the base. As such, the ride winds around and around. Only about about 4 hours of pedaling am I back to the water.

Tomorrow morning, if everything goes as planned, I'll take the ferry over to The Outer Banks proper. Should really good; the ferry ride over is about 2 and half hours long, then from there is pretty much no mans land, with a few lighthouses.

According to the ACA mileage I'm about 250 miles from Richmond. I realized, in passing yesterday, that I won't have to into Richmond, or even through it to get over to Yorktown, VA. That was very very good news.
