We only have 385 miles of Virginia to cross now and the Blue Ridge to cross, which is coming up in the next few days. On Thursday, we'll be descending the other side of the Appalachians, then it's an easy ride Friday and Saturday to the East coast! We have been on our bikes a total of 4,286 miles since July 2nd!

We are amazed by the generosity of Dr. Lee in hosting us strange strangers into his home. I think we went 10 days since our last shower and over 800 miles so it was nice to have this stop on our journey.

I'll post more pics and such Sunday in D.C. when we're not biking 10 hrs a day.
