May 28 Blacksburg

Once again a wrong turn out of the hotel in the morning, which turned out to be an omen for the day. Our route took us zigzagging all through the country roads and before long we were two tracking it far away from civilization. After getting ourselves straightened out we had a pleasant ride againContinue reading “May 28 Blacksburg”

May 26 Daleville

Happy to get on our bikes again to head towards Daleville. A bit of climbing and lots of rollers and following the freeway. Virginia is just so beautful. The honeysuckles line the roads we are on, the dogwoods and rhododendrons are in full bloom, and we have yet to ride on a flat or straightContinue reading “May 26 Daleville”

May 24 ad 25 Natural Bridge

We have plenty of time before we have to be home and so much to see, we decided to ride off our planned route and spend some time at Natural Bridge State Park. We headed out of Lexington towards a KOA campground near the Bridge. After setting up our tent, we rode the four milesContinue reading “May 24 ad 25 Natural Bridge”

May 23 More Lexington

Max left us early in the morning to continue on, but Mike and I were eager to explore Lexington. We have plenty of time to finish our journey and we hate to miss an opportunity to explore, an advantage that isn’t lost on us. We rode into the historic downtown area of Lexington, a smallContinue reading “May 23 More Lexington”

May 22 Lexington

What an absolutely beautiful day to be riding the last part of the Blue Ridge Parkway. The bit of fog quickly burned off and it was sunny and beautiful. We had a bit of climbing before we knew we could enjoy lots of downhills. We ran into Jean, a French cyclist who rode from SanContinue reading “May 22 Lexington”

May 21 Royal Oak Cabins

Before leaving Waynesboro we stopped at a large outfitter store as this is a big Appalachian Trail town. We had talked to several hikers and they all spoke of the rain and cold on the trail, record numbers of hikers leaving. Like bike touring, hiking is really a mental game more then just physical, andContinue reading “May 21 Royal Oak Cabins”

May 20 Waynesboro

We sadly had to leave our wonderful B and B, knowing the mountains and climbing would really begin today. Of course we took a wrong turn first thing, but quickly got back on track. The countryside was gorgeous, lots of farms and views of the Blueridge Mountains. Quite heavenly. As the day wore on thoughContinue reading “May 20 Waynesboro”

May 19 Scottsville

Dark skies this morning and a threat of rain, along with poor planning on our part provided us with a real dilemma. We were headed to Charlottesville VA but due to University graduations there was no lodging within 50 miles of the town. Camping in the rain was not an option (for me). We satContinue reading “May 19 Scottsville”

May 18 Mineral

Once again we woke to beautiful weather, though the forecast said rain. Heading out of town we ran into two women riding the Transamerica bicycle trail, the same route as us, it was so good to connect and ride with others. We rode through roads littered with downed trees, pooling water, and flooding. Schools wereContinue reading “May 18 Mineral”

May 17 Ashland

Rain again this morning but no more postponing the inevitable. We had to move forward. Off we went towards Ashland, a small railroad town. Before long the sun came out and we had a very nice ride through the outskirts of Richmond, the huge houses and yards, more historic buildings and plantations. We got toContinue reading “May 17 Ashland”
