I rode the 65-70 miles from Williamsburg to Ashland today. It rained a bunch early on, and threatened to continue all day. My wet computer did not give me speed or distance updates, hence the approximation above. When I arrived in Ashland, the town was without power due to a very large tree falling. It took out some power lines and landed across some railroad tracks. Power came on around 5:30 or so, which allowed me to get a warm shower in.
Tonight's hosts, Bruce and Eve, are both math professors, so we had some fun talking shop about both bikes and math. Tomorrow I am heading to Prince William Forest National Park. I'm hoping to camp in a historic Civilian Conservation Corp cabin tomorrow night, as more rain is in the forecast. Hopefully all my clothes will dry by morning. We'll see. I won't have internet tomorrow, and I doubt I'll have any cell coverage. Wednesday I'm heading to Arlington, so I'll post from there.

Be safe, especially if there's lightning! I've had some fairly close brushes with lightning while on the bike, so I'm extra cautious about it.
