I continued riding on nice rural Virginia back roads, but got on busier roads for short distances a couple of times. Below are some pics of my scenery today.
At one point during my ride, I had a half a mile climb up the gravel road pictured below.
Pics of a couple more structures that have seen their better days.
The photo below is my favorite Fall decoration I've seen this trip.
I went through Blacksburg, home of Virginia Tech. I ate a super-sized burrito (pic below) at Chipotles in Blacksburg. It was wrapped in 2 tortillas. The first tortilla they put it on tore, so they put the fixings on a different tortilla. I asked if they were going to throw the torn tortilla away, and they asked if I wanted it. I said yes, so they wrapped it around my burrito.
I'm camping in a backyard in Pulaski tonight. I stayed at this house a few years ago when I was biking the Heart of Appalachian Bicycle Route. Mike, the owner of the house, owns a bike shop in Pulaski. I texted him last night to see if I could camp at his place tonight, and he graciously allowed me to do so.
This trip has been fantastic. Bob plotted out a great route, and did a good job finding camping places every night. It has been fun riding with Bob and Mike.
Total miles today: 81
