Day to of Travel to NYC


Loaded bikes, bags, electronics and people into truck. Drove to find coffee (Forest City, AK not a coffee kinda place). Found a Star Bucks in the next town. Life better. Traveled on and on on on and on. Dined on fast food, hydrated on caffeine, no chance to stretch/exercise.....life on the road.

Took Spoc to see Lady Liberty at a truck stop in TN. Passed up the chance to go to the Nascar Outlet (My white trash in me is regretting this - though I have never watch a Nascar race).

We left AK, traveled over the Mississippi River, thru the hills, no scratch that the mountains of TN and into VA. Our arrival into Roanoke it was dark and raining. The outline of the Shenandoah Mountains would pop when a streak of lighting would light up the night sky. OMG I forget the size of the mountains - not so bad from the cab of a pick up truck but from the view point of sitting on a bicycle seat brings some fear to my stomach.

We spend the night in Woodstock, VA.....checkin to the Holiday Inn Express at 2am. We will need to be on the road by 9am if we are to make it to NYC- I doubt we even wake by 9am. Good night.
