Before we began this journey my father explained that he didn't mind riding in the rain, he just didn't like starting the day in it.
This morning we got to test that theory as we once again woke to the sound of rain. After a brief conversation we decided that rather than starting out in the rain, to ride a section we had already seen by car the day before, it was time to have a plan for the days we had left.
What once seemed like a very long vacation was already more than half over and we all had people and places we still wanted to see. So while construction crews worked around us to improve the campsite, we plotted a route that allowed us to hit the best of the Blue Ridge and visit family and friends within the time we had left.
It must have been a sign we had made a good decision, because about the time we completed our plan, the skies cleared, so we set out to explore the area beyond our campsite.
As the pictures show, we discovered a wonderful park next door that among many other attractions included a velodrome (bike track).
Not the day I had expected, but one it seems we needed to take.

Keith;
ReplyDeleteWhat an adventure and what a wonderful opportunity to spend time with your father. I envy you! When do you expect to be back home? Are you fully retired now? What is the next adventure on your list?
Things remain the same at Sprint, a day at a time with a very uncertain future. I am leaving for Tuscany next week so I will have a 3 week reprieve which will be nice. Keep in touch! :)
