May 8th Lexington to some Campground, VA


We took a layover day in Lexington yesterday, which was a very cute little town. We spent the day doing laundry, eating, going to a bike shop to get me a kickstand, eating, sent some of our stuff home to try & lessen the load (didn't work), and slept in a bed.

Then we left the next morning (May 8th) and had a fairly pleasant ride (although still mostly uphill) to a really nice campground. We stopped in another cute little town, Buchanan, for milkshakes & got in early and set up camp. Along the way we saw another couple who is doing the trip on a tandem, and then saw two more men at the campground who are doing the trip.

It started raining just as we went into our tent, and rained and thundered all night long. We have yet to be in Virginia a full 24 (or even 12) hours without rain.
