Day 3: Staunton to Strasburg, VA

Expectations for today's weather was a 50-50 chance for rain. The early riding was terrific and then I watched it drizzle while I enjoyed a sausage sub at an Italian restaurant. After lunch I continued my ride in sunshine. I had ridden most of today's 78 miles before lunch at a nice pace just under 16 mph.

It was a great ride with only one disappointment. As I was humming along a slight downhill (about 24 mph), I looked into my rear view helment cam (mirror) and notice another cyclist. Then I looked to the left and saw a blur with a cyclist hat (on backwards), i Pod headphones, no body fat, and legs of steel. I said hi, but since he was going faster than the speed of sound he couldn't hear me! I wanted to load him up with my 5 lbs. of traveling gear and 25 lbs. of winter insulation and then see how fast he could ride. To bad there isn't a way to "handicap" cyclists.

This is the turtle on the road so don't run over me.
