It has definitely been a riding weekend! Kurt and Ben had not ridden the metric that Kathy, Eugene and I did on May 30th. They were really wanting to ride the route since we had said how beautiful it was. So, yesterday morning we started out at 7 am and rode that pastoral ride again. It was gorgeous ...again...though a bit hotter. There were no SAG stops this time and we did make a couple of stops along the way for drinks.
Today, we rode one of Eugene's routes and I guess after it was over, I was glad, as there was over 2700' of climbing in 34 miles and after yesterday, our legs were tired! (well, mine were...!!) It was a lovely ride in Scott County, VA and Sullivan County, TN. We crossed the border several times. I did enjoy the ride but am glad to be back at home in air-conditioning!
We are picking up our couch-surfers (more on this in another post) later this afternoon from the end of their hike at Watauga Dam. They started last Tuesday at Carver's Gap and hiked over Roan Mountain. I can't wait to hear their stories. We had a whopper of a storm several nights last week. I wonder if they did.
Next on our agenda...Bike Virginia! wahooo!
We are eating peas now, lots of peas! Yummy.
