Day 10: Washington to Louisa

After Washington I decided to head inland to avoid the flooding in North Carolina and set of for the small town of Louisa. Splendid though Washington was, the riding the day before and the day after Washington were probably the least interesting riding days so far, full of bland highways and tedious bike-unfriendly junctions. Nevertheless, things picked up in the afternoon as I hit the country roads of rural Virginia and headed towards Louisa.

Beers and meat loaf were taken in the only bar in town, the Court Café & Pub where talk was of neighbours, friends and acquaintances, motorbike maintenance, trouble at the local trailer park and a fund raiser for a local family who lost their home in a fire.
