Day 4 May 29, 2009

After I had finished writing last night another biker showed up at the station. His name was Jack and he was from New Zealand. He was pulling a trailer and going incredibly slow. He was an incredibly nice guy but we all agreed doomed to fail. We woke up at 6:30 a.m. and cooked a hot meal in the station's kitchen. We left and rode hard today. It was up and down hills all day. We stopped for lunch at a small gas station in the middle of no where. We biked into Charlottesville Virginia, the home of University of Virginia, in a torrential down pour. We set up camp across the street from the University at St. Paul's Episcopal church. I'm writing this entry in the library of the church left open by a very nice pastor named David. We biked 55 miles on route.
