Wutheringbikes Home -- TransAm Bike Ride
|
June 20th 2004
A big day, going from Christopher Run campsite at Lake Anna to Misty Mountain
campsite, near Charlottesville. Charlottesville had that funny look that
alot of American historic towns have - like a once beautiful person recovering
from a violent attack - full of lifeless preserved or rebuilt historic bits,
but assaulted by a sea of shopping malls and development. In the centre,
Steve insisted on hanging around drinking a cup of Earl Grey in one of the
very pleasant pavement cafes. A car pulled over and the young-ish owner
chatted to us about doing the transAm - he'd once transAm-ed to Seattle.
Guy was amused by his T-shirt which suggested, in Guy's favourite language
Irish, a part of his anatomy to kiss - "Pog mo thoin". How handy a knowledge of Irish can
be! The whole day was excellent cycling for the most part, over a quiet,
undulating, agricultural landscape. We are now, well and truly on the Trans-American
trail. Didn't see any other TransAm cyclists though. Large hills on the
horizon to the west appeared as we cycled beyond Charlottesville. |
