Kitty and George at VMI (Virginia Military Institute), Lexington,VA.We had a great day today.... lots of firsts.... such as: George got to change the lenses from clear to darker for his sunglasses; he got rained, actually poured, on; I got to get out for a short hike; we enjoyed getting out in the evening for site seeing as it was not raining in the afternoon today. It was a very tough climbing day, including the Blue Ridge Parkway..... but George loved it. He has found his inner athlete and loves climbing (he is starting to look like a crazy guy on the bike). So, we have a trail name (normally, its a tradition for AT but we can have our own tradition) for him... Mountain Goat. So far he has a new record of not needing to stop for a break or walk any of the uphills but needed to take two breaks on one of the downhills, as his hands were hurting from pressing the breaks too hard. Not to mention, he has bruises from the rain pelting on his face. I guess that means, he was going (at least downhill) very fast.
We went from Afton, VA to Lexington, VA
Stats for today.... 62 miles, start time 7:00 and ending time 2:00.
bike speed ranged from 5.5 mph to 37.5 mph on the parkway.
