Good food. Great portions. Cheers! |
With that we rode on, and once we left the center of town, we didn't see much in the way of dining until we reached Richmond. It was worth the wait. The portions were generous, almost Texas generous. And the prices were good, Texas good.
Shortly after eating, we came across Penny Lane Pub. As Beatles fans, it was impossible to resist a quick stop.
Inside the Penny Lane Pub they only played the Beatles. |

Virginia is full of historical markers like this one. |
"The building across the street looks much grander," said Nicole.
"Um, that's a Federal building."
"Oh."

Our ride out of Richmond proved complex. As we headed east to the city's outskirts, I missed a left turn do a road sign that was completely illegible. The road forked, and we turned right before we could see that we had missed the turn. To get back on the route, we would have to cross eastbound traffic that couldn't see us from the fork in road as well as westbound traffic back into Richmond. And there was no walk light.
We decided to pedal onward and just meet up with the recommended route about 12 miles down the road. This plan seemed to work well, until we discovered that the road we were on just turned into a highway with no shoulder!
Short on daylight, I cursed the city of Richmond and they're bent road sign. We had to ride backwards for about 45 minutes to find lodging for the night.
