Day 8 finds me in Damascus Virginia. The ride for the past day has been beautiful but the last four days have been quite hilly. Things in general are going very well. I've been averageing about 80 miles a day and my legs feel great. The sorest thing is my butt but i'm making due.
A couple of days ago I went to Thomas Jeffersons estate Montecello; a truely beautiful and amazing peace of history there. The east side of the apalachians and through the tide water is amazing historically. The area is filled with battle fields and historical sites.
So far I've only had one night of rain and my tent did great, rain here is a little different than back home, when it rains here it really rains hard. The bike has been woring well also, some minor kinks but the have all been easy to repair and better than I could have hoped really.
I'm just north of the boarder with Tennesee right now and I'm hoping to make it into Kentucky today but the "hardest climb of the trip" is about three miles ahead of me so we will see how that goes.
OK the road awaits, ciao!
