Oahu Populaire #2228

Possibly the coldest day so far. Morning temps were in the high 30s. And that nasty NW wind from yesterday was still there, albeit slightly diminished. 

Fortunately the roads were great for the most part. Some actual hills are appearing, but I sort've prefer the rollers to those laser-straight flat roads of the deep south. 

We did have a brief encounter with US17. I thought we were finished with that horrible road, but no, official US Bike Rt 1 uses a segment of US17 as it approaches Fredricksburg. 

It was crazy. This beautiful country road Tees onto US 17. There's a big US Bike Rt 1 sign at the merge point. And also a wall of traffic. US17 here is a two lane with a 3ft wide shoulder, but, you guessed it, there are 2 foot wide rumble strips centered in the shoulder. I had to walk a good distance of this. It was impossible to ride. I laughed out loud at the US bike Rt 1 sign: "You gotta be kidding!"

Rode through a lot of things that said battlefield, but saw no monuments. In Richmond, the AC bike route make a point of diverting to "Monument Ave" but there were no monuments. Just big empty circles with fresh dirt, weeds, and some rubble. I'm guessing they were erased.
