Christiansburg
The 78 mile ride today followed the valleys between the highlands. The terrain was rolling with a few steep but short climbs. Did I mention that it rained? Actually, off and on until the last 10 miles when it became serious rain with streams of water coming down the road and large puddles. Unfortunately, I got a flat tire not far from where I planned to stop about 12 miles short of Christiansburg. We are staying there tonight and drying out all of what I had with me. I am carrying a fanny pack with phone, ID, money, camera, and food. The plastic bag with the gorp opened. Picture all that stuff sitting in a puddle of water in the pack. But hey it's all part of the adventure. No pictures today, it was raining too much.

ReplyDeleteHi Bob and Sally,
ReplyDeleteAs I sat lakeside the other day, I did think of you two riding across the country...Love your commentary...Sally, Dancey veers over to your house every morning. We tangled over a very ripe dead fish the other day..the fish won and the aroma still lingers....Be safe and take care.
