Bicycle Adventure of Summer 2014

Richmond, Virginia  to Ghent, NY

Departure: June, 28th, 2014

Route: I will be travelling on back roads and use my GPS to navigate. From Richmond, I will pedal to Norfolk, VA. From Norfolk, I'll catch a ride across the Chesapeake on the Bay Bridge Tunnel  (no bicycles permitted, so I must improvise) and proceed up the Delmarva Peninsula to Lewes, DE. I will cross the Delaware Bay to NJ on the Cape May-Lewes Ferry. I will travel north through NJ to NY.

Duration: 3 weeks (I'm a school teacher. While the monetary compensation is not excessive, the vacation time is nothing to complain about.)

Lodging: 

• Campgrounds with my Hennessy Hammock (It's like a tent, only better.)
• The cheap motel (Once a week and not so cheap that my Hennessy would be preferable accommodations.)
• Friends and Relatives (Don't worry. I won't pop in on you. If I plan on stopping by on my way north, I've either already talked to you or plan on doing so real soon.)
• Stealth Camping (Only when absolutely necessary.) 
• On the property of Complete Strangers (Seriously, I am always surprised by people who will stop and chat with me and then invite me to camp on their land. I've even been invited as a dinner guest on some occasions.)
