Tulip - this is right - what I need to work on!

"BTW, this is a perfect example of how YOU can control your responses to the people around you. You cannot make the other riders slow down, but you can choose to talk to them about it, or let it go."

I was invited on this trip. There was to be a slow group and a fast group. However, on arriving I was the only one in the slow group. There were cue sheets, but there were many turns and sometimes they were not correct. The roads we used in VA are very narrow country roads with no bike lanes. It would not have been a good place to ride by oneself.

We visited Jamestown, Williamsburg, Fredericksburg, Monticello (Jefferson's house), Mt. Vernon (Washington's House), did the RABA tour of Historic Homes in Richmond, and had a tour of the White House. We even had a dinner at the 'Gospel Chicken House'. We camped in backyards and camping grounds and some of us rented cabins in KOA's after too many nights on the ground (2 weeks). And no hurricanes!
