The hardest day so far. The Blue Ridge parkway was beautiful and challenging. Luckily, we had some shade and wind to cool us along a lot of up and down. Cookie Lady was worth the stop. A tribute to riders. It was humbling to see what others have done on bikes. It was great to see the legacy we are adding to. It felt like we went 70 miles today but turned out to be 54. At Vesuvius, our first church stay provided nice camp spots and a shelter. The one spigot we found was a drinking water, shower and cooking water all in one! How ingenious. Towns have been lacking in stores, campgrounds and restaurants. Grocery stores are a treat! My camp cooking is expanding. Last night was Ramen noodles with frozen broccoli and a rice vegetable mix. I have determined everything tastes delicious when you are hungry.
Four riders from Spokane set out on May 18 for a bike tour from Yorktown to the Oregon Coast by way of small towns along the classic TransAmerica Bike Route.
