Lucas and me on the Rt 50 bridge at Ocean City,
MarylandFrom Monday July 6 to Monday July 13, my 15-year old son Lucas and I rode our bikes from Spencer, NY (18 miles south of Ithaca) to the tip of the Virginia Eastern Shore, at Kiptopeke, the toll booths for the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.
I blogged the entire ride over at my touring blog, chipbiking.wordpress.com. All of the posts can be accessed from this page: Ithaca-Virginia 2009.
All of the photos from that ride are here: Virginia Trip.
Totals: I rode my Jamis Aurora touring bike, with about 45 pounds of gear, Lucas rode his Jamis Satellite road bike, with about 15 pounds of gear. We rode for 8 days, covering 545 miles in a ride time of 46 hours and 40 minutes, for an average speed 11.68 mph. We climbed 10,834 feet, this route was a lot flatter than the California tour I did last month.
