Ashland to Fredericksburg, Va.

I had a short, 65-mile day that included some rolling hills, but nothing too serious. Because there wasn't lodging for nearly 50 miles beyond Fredericksburg, I'm staying there. Also, because I was here by noon, the only camping was "primitive", and there is a threat of serious thunderstorms, I got a hotel room. Plus, I have so much time to kill today, that I didn't want to just hang around outside for 9 hours until it was time for bed.

Tomorrow I plan to ride into Washington D.C. I used to live there, but all my friends, except one, have moved away. Unfortunately, as it turns out, she is away, so I'll be staying in a hostel.
