For some reason my original post didn't work so I'm going to try and redo it from memory. Fingers crossed!
I remember it being cloudy and cool all day and having some great riding. Everything just looked really Virginia. I did the bulk of my riding along the capital trail which was really nice except for one weird thing, there were large sections just covered in hay. Straw, hay, coop flooring whatever you call it, it was everywhere. I couldn't see the trail there was so much hay, and for miles! Then it would just stop, like it was never even there. I have no idea why it was there but I came up with: ancient southern paving technique, school prank, hay fight, messy eating horse. Who knows the real answer though.
I also had a nice chat with a guy outside of the country store. It seemed like the country store was a meeting ground for everyone because people were just hanging around chatting. Everyone hadn't seen everyone is a long time apparently. One guy, when I told him how far I came said, "boy done good don't he". Perfect.
First night camping also and everything set up easily and well. Good gear, glad to have it.
