Arrvied in Ashland

We had a great ride into Ashland this afternoon. We got started early and didn't hit too many hills. We had a number of detours due to construction coming out of Stafford, but we managed to find our way. We encountered our first loose dogs of the ride today. Five different dogs chased after us, including a mean looking German Shepherd, but we managed to outrun all of them. After arriving in Ashland, we all decided to take a dip in the pool at the Super 8 where we're staying. Now we're at the Ashland Coffee & Tea house having some coffee. More tomorrow...
