Biker Steve leaving early in the morning. He is going out on his own and trying to finish the entire route by July 1!
Steve interviews us: youtu.be/xOLqhbzZn
Some beautiful downhills but you know what goes down must come up.
Our GPS gives a picture of our climbing. A bit daunting. As we were riding into Charlottesville we could see a mountain ahead. Mark casually says I bet Charlottesville is at the top. He was correct.

Unplanned event….. after big climb we stopped to get some quick energy with some electrolyte blocs Mark decided to lighten his load as one of his crowns came off. So that made the decision we were doing rest day in Charlottesville. DDS appointment found for Friday!
Traveling with Pat & Mark 
Love the Steve Harvey interview with the two of you, just like Paul Harvey with “the rest of the story”. Sorry about Mark’s crown, but at least he was able to get a dentist appointment. Continue your interesting travels and stay safe, Pat and Mark!

I hope there was a fence between you and the longhorn. Check out those skewers!

Love the interview ! You should have used the opportunity to drop a new conspiracy theory on Trump Nation to see how much traction it would get on YouTube by the end of the trip.
Mark – Lucky that you got a dental appointment right away. My dentist is usually booked up about six weeks out, although she probably does manage to squeeze in emergencies. In the good old days of the Yellow Pages, you would have opened it to Dentists and started dialing, beginning with the ubiquitous and strategically-positioned AAA Dental Associates and Acme Dental. Maybe you should play it safe tooth-wise for a few weeks and stick to instant mashed potatoes and applesauce.

I must say I’m shocked it was Mark that lost a crown, that is much more like something Pat would do. Glad you were able to be seen right away.

55 miles—very impressive. You both sounded gear on your interview with Steve Harvey. Tombstone with Social Security numbers is really wild. Good luck when you resume your trip on Sunday.
