This morning we woke up in the clouds. A thick mist surrounded us and I’m not sure if it was that or the fact we had internet which was to blame for our late start. We finally got away from camp at 10am and as we got off the mountains the day cleared.

We headed off the Blueridge parkway today to go to a town in Galax, Virginia. There is a rail trail here we want to ride.

We stopped at the visitor centre in Galax and they suggested staying in the town of Fries (pronounced freeze). We stayed at a very expensive but very nice rv park and had full hookup, wifi and it was right on the cycle path.

Big black clouds loomed in the distance but we chanced it and hopped on our bikes, only having ridden them once before .

It was great being back on the bikes and it was a pretty trail alongside the river. The rail trail goes for 57 miles, but we rode just over an hour and then headed back.

It was really warm and humid but I’m actually starting to like it. I think Texas has conditioned us well.

I spent the afternoon doing a little video for Dad, thankful we had wifi. So hopefully you guys can show it to him.

This blog didn’t upload yesterday so is a day behind.
