5/29 Lynchburg to Stony Creek VA

This morning we met early to try to outrun the impending rain forecasted to hit us early in the PM.  We got a good start after the lousy continental breakfast not stopping for anything except a snack and Gatorade at about 26 miles into the ride.

We saw the 5 roads battlefield where many men died.

As we reached about the last 6 miles we entered into a downpoor that got every inch of us wet.  Luckily it was a warm rain that felt cooling in the hot muggy air.  The only concern was the amount of water on the roads and our narrow tires, but the Schawlbe Marathon plus tires did a great job helping us to arrive at our hotel after 60 miles.  We immediately hung up our wet clothes and took warm showers in preparation for dinner at Denny's next door.
