Day 8 - North Carolina beach

Michael Jackson spoke to us, and hooked us up with a shuttle to take us across the Chesapeak Bay Bridge.To our dismay, our driver was not named Prince. The bridge is 15 miles long and is one of the seven wonders of the world, in addition to the Great Wall of China and Charlie's sunburn.

We then rode through Virginia Beach before entering False Cape State Park. In addition to the cape being false, so was the alleged bike path. Halfway through, the gravel gave way to sand, commencing a 15 mile wallow down the beaches of North Carolina. We sludged well into the night, accompanied only by the occasional wild horse. Mick Jagger was no where to be found. Dinner was what we had left, peanut butter, gnutella, sport beans and an ounce of water. We write this from the first town we've seen in almost a full day, with no desire to leave.
