17 April Richmond, VA

We arrived in Virginia safe and sound after a rather bumpy landing at Richmond Int'l airport. Our bikes also arrived safely with us. The whole trip went remarkably smoothly. We only had 2 hours between flights in Chicago and were expecting it to be a rush. Thankfully, everything ran like clockwork in Chicago. The only slight hiccup was when Stephen decided to put his little finger on the scanner when the immigration officer asked for the index finger.

Today we have cycled to the end of the road that the hotel is on and back again. A total of 7 miles. We had one dog chase us. It seems ominous that we have dogs chasing us this soon.

The weather has been cool and overcast and a little windy. There has been a big storm that hit the Eastern US over the weekend and the remnants are still here.

American cars are huge, but thankfully people drive slowly, making it possible to cycle safely even on busy roads.
