| Start of Day 14 |
Today was supposed to be an easy day with an estimated cycling distance of 50 miles and no tough climbs. HA!!! Well, we ended up riding 60 miles and faced more than a few steep, steep climbs. I'm not going to lie, today was tough. I was very fatigued. So was Kevin. We grunted our way through each mile and focused on keeping the pedals and odometer movin'. At least it was another dry, sunny day, 75 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. We rode from Christiansburg, VA to Wytheville, VA. Along the way we passed a stray cow that escaped from a paddock, an array of barking dogs, Virginia Tech, many halloween-themed houses and an endless stretch of mountains hugging us on either side. We met up with Jim and the RV at around 3:30pm. We found a wonderful community center in Wytheville and went for a swim, soaked in the hot tub then took a long hot shower before a yummy lentil soup meal. I'm tired and will sleep well for sure.

Thanks Karin! And, from what I've seen with your dedication and focus, you definitely have it in you! It was a bit brutal today and I'm wiped. I am so happy that you take time to read the blog every day. I spend a fair amount of time while on the bike thinking about what I'm going to write later in the day and the moment I get off the bike, I'm uploading photos and typing away. I have a commitment to my blog and my family and friends who are reading each day! xx
