Day 8 (2022-06-10) 17 miles, 55 feet (2095)

After a great sleep w/ no rain fly at Kiptopeke State Park, we took one last look at the beach and headed over to the toll booth for the Chesapeake Bay Bridge / Tunnel, a 17.6 mile bridge that includes two tunnels to let the big ships through.

Bikes aren't allowed on the bridge, so the transit authorities shuttled us across the bridge w/ a van for our bikes and the rest of us in a car. We couldn't convince the driver to take us past the end of the tunnel all the way to the hotel, so we biked 10 quite nasty city/highway miles through Norfolk until we arrived at our posh digs in the Norfolk Courtyard Marriott. It was only noon, so we saw Top Gun while we waited (totally corny, melodramatic, but nailed it so well we all loved it).

After an extremely good "Dr. Gonzo" burger (or two) at Jack Brown's, we spent some time bopping around the Harborfest, before retiring to watch the excellent game 4 in the NBA finals. My warriors won :-).
