We have arrived!

We rolled out of Abingdon, VA this morning into a crisp morning of lower 60 degree temperatures.  We linked up with Raven and Sapper and added two more bikes to our pack.  Unlike the rest of the riders, I had on multiple layers, including a full coat, to guard against the morning chill.  Everyone else seemed to think it was great riding weather though.  By noon, we had warmed up into the 80s and I was a toasty, happy camper again :-)

It was smooth sailing the whole way until we hit a snag just two exits from our scheduled departure from I-81.  Traffic was at an absolute standstill for what we soon found out was a big rig on fire on the side of the road.  The interstate was a parking lot for pretty much 45 minutes, but once we saw the truck, we were amazed that the delay wasn't significantly longer.

After checking into the hotel and having a meal and a couple of beers, it seems that I am too tired to post anything witty or insightful, so I will just let our arrival into Gettysburg suffice as the big news of the day.  Hope everyone had as great a day as I did riding!
