Short day so we slept in until shortly after 6 AM and had breakfast at the hotel. Took our time getting ready and hit the road at 8:45 AM. Weather was cool and traffic light. On top of that we had a slight tailwind so the cycling was a breeze (pun intended). Had lunch at our destination town at a burger joint and the food was really good and so was the chocolate shake. Thank god we are riding everyday or I would weigh 500 lbs. As we were leaving the lunch spot two police officers that were having lunch there asked us about our ride. After giving them the details they wanted to know where we were staying.  I told them the Fairfield Inn and when I did they gave me their approval. One of them said “we have two good hotels in town and that is one of them”. Whats funny about this is we forfeited our original booking days before we left Arizona because we zoomed in on it on Google maps and Tina said “Oh No!”. So, when the cop asked me where we were staying I said how about the (name withheld) and the cop said “Oh No!”. This is really hard to admit sometimes but Tina is always right. Hotel is really nice and with some time to relax we have done just that, even used the pool. Dinner was at a Japanese fast food place next door that was good and now its time to pack up and get ready for an early start tomorrow. We have about 57 miles tomorrow to New Bern, NC and the weather is heating up……..
