After a short shuttle to avoid some construction and potential wet road hazards, we left Gray, TN for Abingdon, VA. Once we got to 11E, it was an easy ride with good shoulders into Bristol --not counting the 3 flat tires we got along the way. I was in the front group as we cycled past the motor speedway and continued on to State St downtown where we were to muster for the group crossing into VA. As we waited for the second group, we learned that they had stopped for a photo-op at the Speedway and as the minutes went by, I just knew they had somehow finagled their way into the Speedway for a lap on their bikes.....and that's just what happened! Slimy dogs.
We avoided the rain again today. We've been blessed with overcast skies, 75 degrees, and tailwinds. It couldn't be better weather for cycling. We are headed for Bland, VA tomorrow.
I'll be backposting pictures as soon as I can. It has been a couple of days now without an internet connection. Jo helps me out on the wireless-less days.
Pictures (when I can!) 1. The "other" group at the finish line at Bristol Motor Speedway...slimy dogs. 2. Group shot at the last Stateline we cross --Virginia
