Day 2 started poorly. Boyd & I were at breakfast when Bill came in to inform us that his wife's mother had passed away overnight. That meant that he would have to return home today. We sadly said goodbye to Bill with the hopes that he could rejoin us later in the trip.
After some discussion between Boyd, Lloyd & I, we decided to forego the 8th Air Force Museum in order to get as far north as we could today so we could spend more time on the Skyline Parkway & the Blue Ridge Parkway. We left the motel in Pooler, NC about 8:30 am & headed north on I-95. The day started beautifully with great weather and a scenic ride through the northern Georgia woods. However, the day quickly warmed to the mid 90's. By the time we entered Virginia, it was holding at a steady 95 degrees. Boyd put on his cool scarf & I put on my cool vest. Lloyd had to tough it out with no warm weather gear. As we neared the end of our 519 mile run to Fredericksburg, VA, the temperature dropped 10 degrees in about 2 minutes and a few minutes later the rains started. Luckily it did not rain too hard until after we got to our motel. Glad to ben inside now since it is raining very hard with frequent lightening.
Tomorrow we will head for Front Royal, VA & head south on the Skyline Parkway.
Ride with Pride
