Crossing the border

Last night we stayed at a place called "Motel Food".  It was very nice. Comfortable beds.  We had three types of omlets and some light and fluffy biscuits for breakfast, and then we slid on our bikes and wheeled down the road ...

We had to stop and make a few phone calls at lunch time.  I had some important business deals to take care of while on the road, and Paul had to catch up on the latest gossip with his girlfriends ...

We finished clocking about 100 miles and then settled in with the Samuelson family just south of Chapel Hill.  They are related to Alexa Rohrbach, one of our heroes of years past.  Alexa is fighting neuroblastoma in Atlanta.  Ken and Mickey fed us a great southern cooked meal, and then Mickey introduced us to homemade chess pie.  One was chocolate, the other was ... vinegar.  Both were outstanding.  We took the opportunity to pose for a picture with the chef:
 
We'll be at North Carolina Children's Hospital tomorrow, and then we'll have an Outback fundraiser at lunch.   more later.  bedtime now.
