5/28 Radford to Lynchburg VA

Lynchburg, VA is considered a larger town on our ride across America. One tool we rely on a lot is our GPS and this morning was no different. We are navigating the last few hundred miles solely by GPS. I plugged in a GPS route to Burkville, VA and started out to highway 460 only to be stopped by a bicycles prohibited sign. There was no other option available from the GPS. In these cases you learn to be smarter than the GPS and meander off route making the GPS reroute. Finally it got the message and found a way out of town.
Appomattox is a small town with huge historic significance dating back to the Civil War. This is where Lee surrendered to Grant and ended the Civil War.
Riding into Burkville where we are hanging our helmets tonight a small one hotel town was up one pesky hill and down another for 72 miles.
