Today's ride was another lovely day of mostly country roads, with the added bonus that we left the mountains and entered the Piedmont. We still had plenty of hills, but their intensity decreased throughout the day. We started with a nice climb on gravel over our last "ridge". A long decent on gravel and then pavement followed by "rollers" came next. We treated ourselves to a 2nd breakfast after 20 miles and were glad we ate the 1st to help us climb early. Western VA is beautiful.
A highlight was meeting my wife, Lisa, and two Richmond friends, Mary Lou and Ken, at Culpeper. Mary Lou and Ken plan to ride with us to Richmond and Ken plans to continue with us to Yorktown.
