I almost cried when I saw this just now :)

After 53 miles and because I'm almost done and bloody deserve it I got a room with a pool !

The historical town of Williamsburg as I rode through it today. It's been kept up to scratch for the tourists but its really interesting to get a little taste of what life was like for the early settlors who.came here.

Finally a house in America flying the correct flag lol! ;)

Williamsburg is a quite clean and historic town. The focus here is on its settler past etc. Lots of older buildings and people wearing traditional/ period costumes etc..here the horse and cart ride has found new life.

Williamsburg street market.today. its very touristy and expensive but it is nice..lots of crafty stuff and weird types of honey etc lol!

This is the first sign I saw with the magic word on it.....Yorktown!

For a couple of hours today I was riding amoungst rider doing the Virginia triathlon race...there were loads of them...maybe a hundred or more all on flash carbon triathlon bikes....I couldn't resist it...so for a mile or so I pushed myself to the limit and kept pace with four of them...probably.the four slowest riders but hey...I'm fully loaded...they were all friendly and saying hi etc....then one guy says....hey buddy you're making us look bad ..been trying to catch you a while...man that's a lot of shot to carry...lol!
Inevitably I lost the race but it got me into Williamsburg a bit quicker than o.had thought!

Views from this mornings ride along the James river and the chicahominy river approaching Williamsburg.

Riding along the James river this morning along the colonial parkway towards Williamsburg.
