Day Three: Lake Curtis, VA to Fredericksburg, VA

Daily mileage: 33
Miles to date: 96

From Krissy's Big Adventure

Oy. This was supposed to be a rest day since Daniel was sick and I am plain old out of shape -- just an 11 mile jaunt into Fredericksburg, except we hadn't planned well enough ahead to have a place to stay. So after another noon start, we ended up riding south past town, but not before we spent THREE HOURS in front of a Walmart trying to find a route and a place to stay. We spent the rest of the day riding another 15 or so miles, racing the sun and barely making it to a KOA campground before a torrential rain fell on us all night long. And because I was too lazy to set up my rain fly properly, the one-inch strip of exposed vent let in about two inches of water, leaving me to sleep with my feet and sleeping bag in a puddle all night.

On the plus side, I got to see hay rolls today.
