May 10th. Radford to Wytheville, VA 45 miles or so


Sorry for the delay in updating. It's hard to find both a computer to use & the time to keep this constantly updating- but we're trying!
We left the comfort of a home (and 4 wheels) in Radford, VA and rode to Wytheville. We were anticipating a little less hilly terrain, but alas it was not in the cards. At lunch we stopped to eat lunch & met Dave & Dennis, two guys who are riding westbound to Missoula, MT. We figure it is probably the last we will see of them, given they are much faster than us.
In Wytheville we were planning on camping at a city park that lets cyclist stay for free. However their bathroom was pitch black with no light, and we felt a little sketched out, so we opted to go to a super cheap hotel for the night. The next day when we woke up it was pouring down rain, with rain in the forecast all day long. We decided to take another layover day & I actually ended up sleeping 4 more hours in the morning, so it was probably much needed.
