Started off on the lovely George Washington Parkway cycle path. This cycle path is great, nearly as good as the Austrian bike paths!
And this is how I looked going on this route, the rain jacket was on, but it was only drizzling so I was happy.
After about 30miles of very lumpy bike paths, my intended route was closed, oh no! I'm not sure that the intended route would have been any better but the roads I had to use were horrible! Really busy, some times with a shoulder to ride on, sometimes not. So where they looked too hideous and busy I rode on very wide pavements, which slows you right down as the crossings take forever, as they're kind of like motorway intersections. Tired, fairly miserable, and a lot later than anticipated I did make it to my intended camp for the night
The reason it's taken me till now to post anything is because I'm relying on my phone for navigation, I ran out of juice yesterday and had to limp along, charging while riding, and turning on only occasionally to check I'm still on the right route, my own fault for using like a satnav with the screen on, need to be more careful
