We had breakfast at McDonald's and then headed east on the route. After about 25 miles, we intersected highway 250, which was a straight shot to Richmond. There was very light traffic, so we decided to take the shortcut to make it to a church in Glendale, rather than a campground that would have been 110 miles on the route. Our idea backfired once again as we found ourselves on a busy 4-6 lane road on the outskirts of Richmond. I found a detour to get us back onto the route, and we stopped in Mechanicsville for dinner around 6 after 110 miles. It was 20 more miles along the route to the church, so we made a final push to get there before dark. It's nice to have A/C on our last night of the trip. We're going to sleep in because we have 60 more miles to Yorktown. The route continues to get flatter, so it should be a very easy, shorter ride. Almost there!
(I didn't take any pictures today, but I found this picture of us on another cyclist's blog. This is in Larned, KS)
