Tuesday, September 23, 2008, Campground in Prince William Forest Park, Triangle, Virginia
I woke up early and mounted the horns on the bikes. I think it will be important as we enter city areas with lots of pedestrians and bikes. We got a fairly early start, 7:30. Highway 1, sounds like a nice highway, doesn't it? The worst road of the trip: no shoulder on most of it, hilly, with semis and lots of traffic. Unfortunately, the wind was blowing hard against us too. We were stuck on that road for a long time, and I could never relax. No incidents though. We had some safe stretches where we could participate in a bike honking chorus. Willie's was the odd sounding horn and Paul had a bell, which added for more variety in the compositions. We stopped occasionally for snacks, sunflower seeds being a favorite. Since there were few campgrounds, we decided to camp in Triangle and only ended up riding 73 miles.
