Breakfast at Fayetteville RV Resort.
Oatmeal, bananas, Peanut Butter, bagels and Pistachios
We left the campground after a great breakfast ++ coffee A good start for the day. Beautiful weather, altittle warmer maybe 80 degrees with a NW wind. Which way we going Hap? Todays ride did seem like we were riding more into the wind but still a beautiful day, we were pedaling so how could it NOT be good?
Along the way we saw several Civil War Trail signs. This pic shows one of the memorials to the Battle of Aresburg, NC. Interesting. There was a Union field hospital maybe a mile from a Confederate field hospital. It is really hard to imagine what was going on in that era.
This pic show how we are carrying our "stuff". On the rear rack we have our "condo"(some people call it a tent). We also have our "bedroom" in the larger blue bag.This includes Big Agnes our double wide sleeping bag, our sheets AND our pillows (me 2, Hap has one....). The black bag that you see is the "closet". It contains our clothes which is sort of three sets of riding clothes, a couple extra T shirts, 2 long sleeve shirts, one set of long pants each, tights, rain gear and that's pretty much it for the next few months. Hope you like that grey shirt, Hap!!
We stopped at McD's for some ice cream. Do they have ice cream?? Mmm. But then I saw this Frappe??? Whats that? Coffee.....? must be good. After drinking my Frappe I looked up the nutrition info. Big mistake! Guess I won't have many of these!
Our goal for today was to ride to Apex NC on the west side of Raleigh to stay with our friends, Anne, Jay and Zoe. Anne texted and asked if we were coming in on Ten Ten road? We looked at the map and sure enough we were. She said it was really busy so we detoured to Holly Springs. We are still following a Google bike map to their house. Wow, lots of traffic! We usually try to avoid big cities but not this time. Most people gave us plenty of room. But there is always one! If will never make sense to me if you have two lanes and there is a slower vehicle why you just can't move over to the
other lane and go about your day. We were alittle stressed when we finally got to there subdivision. A
car backed out of the driveway right in front of us. Ahhhh. We stopped and with alittle frustration said no you go ahead we'll stop it's ok we don't mind. No really go ahead we're just passing throught.....After all that we realized that this was one of their neighbors........ooops sorry hope we didn't make anyone mad!
We made it to Anne and Jay's house! Yeah!They fixed us a great dinner, it was so good to see them and to meet Zoe. What a cutie. We decided to spend another day just enjoying good friends and watching Zoe. Kids are a novelty to us, we don't get to spend much time with little ones so staying another night was a bonus! Thanks so much to good friends!
