to lake James state park along a wide varietybof roads. We thought
long and hard about doing the blue ridge parkway on this trip and when
we decided not to attempt it we got to ride on it for about 2 miles
today and it made me want to ride it someday on bike. We then hit
highway 70 for the rest of the day and that was mostly pretty crappy
to ride on except on section where we were on old 70 and it was closed
to motor vehicles and it was all downhill. It was glorious but did not
last nearly long enough. We plan to ride 70 for awhile so hopefully it
will improve.
Big thanks to the croppers for putting us up last night and taking us
to dinner. I lived in Asheville for a few months 10 years ago and
though it was strange to be back, I think the passing of time has let
me appreciate the town more than when I was there. I look forward to
spending more time in this area, it really is beautiful.
Our sponsors today and many days to come are my wonderful in-laws.
Dave and Karen are somewhere out on the ocean but I know at some point
they will read this, they are two of our most loyal followers, even
from a ship thousands of miles away. Thanks dave and Karen!
