Most of the day was urban riding of one kind or another, from MD-450 through Annapolis,
The Naval Academy viewed from across the Severn River.
to downtown DC neighborhoods.
We rode quite a bit today on the shoulders of two and three lane divided highways, but we were also on bike trails that were relaxing and beautiful.
Mt Vernon bike trail.
Anacostia river walk trail.
Yes indeed. This is almost the exact spot where we finished our first cross country ride five years ago. Actually got chills being there.
Crossing the bridge over the Potomac.
Ronald Regan International Airport.
We are going to suspend our ride for about two weeks. This is a planned hiatus to allow us to fly home to take care of this and that, and also to visit with our grandchildren in the Grand Rapids area. Since leaving Grand Rapids on July 25th, we have traveled 1,958 miles. We have ridden in twelve states, one Canadian province, and the District of Columbia. Not bad for the first 76 days.

Margaret and John, I've just finished reading your blog from the beginning and am in awe of your trip! I'm so happy for you to be able to make such an amazing journey together! No doubt that your trip through North Carolina will be mostly on the East Coast, but if you feel the urge to come inland by say, 250 miles.... come visit! Enjoy your much deserved hiatus and time with your kids. <3
Hey, Lynn. Nice to hear from you.
You may recall that we had the opportunity to learn a lot about long distance touring from you guys a little over five years ago.
Hi Jill,
Most likely we will get no further west than Cary before heading back to the coast at Wilmington. Never can tell, however.
