May 25, 2001 - Mike and Marilyn's 2001 TranAmerican Bike Tour

Layover day in Charlottesville. (0 miles!)

Little 4 month old Sophie from Arlington VA wanted to get on the Internet so she brought her mom, Mary, down to visit us today. (Mary and Marilyn are "Bicky Babes" from the same women's Outward Bound class in 1995).

Then Mary kindly drove us all around and to a bike shop where we bought 4 cans of Halt, doggie pepper spray, and a Terry Men's Liberator saddle (Mike broke a saddle rail trying to pick his 2-ton bike up by the saddle). Sophie entertained us by being cute.

Then we did the Monticello, Home of Jefferson Thing, and took a break from writing in the journal.
