Day 19 - 7/31 - Fancy Gap, VA

Today we headed North by RV to bypass construction on the Blue Ridge and to position us for the key areas we still want to ride.

The trip from Asheville, NC to Fancy Gap, VA was about 170 miles and places us very close to the Blue Ridge where we can ride south to visit the Blue Ridge Music Center and cross the Virgina - North Carolina border; or north to ride one of the flattest sections.

With our new plan in place, the first thing we did was get lost. The second thing we did was find ourselves in a 10 mile long traffic jam. So we really shouldn't have been surprised when we checked into the KOA campsite, we discovered they had screwed up our reservation and didn't have a spot for us for a third night. I love it when a plan comes together;)

On the flip side, the campsite is beautiful, the Blue Ridge is less than a mile from the campground; and they are predicting a bright sunny day tomorrow!

The new plan has us riding south tomorrow on the parkway before heading to the next campsite where we will now spend an extra day.

7-31 Day 19
