UPDATE: And... we're home!

-
We left Atlanta and the hotel at 7 this morning (Eastern time) and after 11 hours of driving, we arrived in Dallas.  Home at last!

The drive went well, just long.  No accidents to avoid like yesterday, just some congestion in particular the nearer we got to Dallas.

The Mitsubishi Outlander Sport I rented did well.  Not to sporty, but it cruised at 80 quite easily.


Now the dogs are happily chewing on their bully sticks while we catch up on things around the house.  I think we're all going to sleep well tonight!

We left my parent's house and rode out over the same draw bridge I rode over Sunday night, then picked up where I left off on the Virginia Capital Trail .  It's a multi-use trail running from Richmond to Williamsburg and is used by runners, cyclists, and walkers.  It's really neat that they created this trail and how long it is (52 miles).  They also seem to take good care of it.  At one point, a truck was driving down it towing a blower to blow stuff off the trail. (Finally had some company on the road.) The Capital Trail parallels Route 5 and runs along and through wooded areas and farm land.  Sometimes there were corn fields right next to the trail - so close I could reach out and run my hands through them if I wanted to.  You could even smell the corn (which was amazing if you ask me). (Back on the Capital Trail.) (R

UPDATE: Quick Update

-
I'm just getting back to the hotel and wanted to send in a quick update. If you were watching my track this afternoon, you might have wondered what I was doing when I didn't stop at 125 miles.  I was feeling pretty good and decided to ride the last 55 miles or so into Tulsa. Crazy, I know. 185 miles for the day! Since I was going to be in Tulsa anyways, I'm going to take tomorrow off and chill. I'll also post up some pictures and write up the last two days. So, stay tuned. 😀
