It's sad that a) the motel last night didn't offer free wifi or
breakfast, b) my breakfast at Starbucks was probably the best and most
nourishing I've had in a few weeks. Speaking of food, I caught up with
the Dutch guys I met last night after a few miles (I'm not the only
getting slightly late starts!) and I noticed again just how skinny, or
actually malnourished, these two look. It seems plain stupid to me to
let yourself lose that much weight while on tour. It's hard enough to
do this much riding everyday, I think you really have to feed your
body enough to help it recover- which really isn't that hard in the
US, it's the country of cheap and abundant food after all! Although
actually I'm getting kind of sick of American food and how much I need
to eat... Might go on a fruit detox week after the tour! Well, I got
to Ashland without any problems. It's still not completely flat, but
there's not too much climbing so I had quite a relaxed ride. Still on
schedule to make it to Yorktown tomorrow!
