Leaving the Econo Inn in Roanoke we had comfortable temps and crowded urban roads to negotiate with moderate traffic. The Econo Inn offered a cup of coffee and pastries of which I opted out of. We decided to find a more desirable breakfast somewhere down the road. I'm good for 30 miles of riding before starvation, and crankiness sets in. As we cranked our pedals and pointed our bikes out of town, within a couple miles of riding a Denny's Restaurant and breakfast appeared in front of us. Carol found us on the Find My Friends app and joined us.
As we road toward Lynchburg, VA the temps climbed into the 80's and beyond, and the hills again appeared. They weren't bad just annoying in the heat and humidity. Once we entered into the city limits of Lynchburg I entered a GPS course for the hotel and it came back as 8.5 miles away. Now that is just as bad as a huge hill at the end of a day. We tackled it with gung-ho eagerness knowing that an air conditioned hotel was waiting across town.
