As I implied, while the ride on U.S. 40 was fun in the flat sections, there was little to see on the way, just giant stores and too many billboards.

Anyway, it is now past my bedtime. The goal is to get to Washington on Wednesday.

Will you be bicycling across the Route 40 [Hatem] bridge Wednesday? I believe going South(West) you won't have to deal with the toll but bicycle access is still new.

Let us know how the bridge is.
