Total miles 26, +/- elevation 1978/1752, Total miles so far 560. Weather 40’s to start, mid 60’s by afternoon.
Our ride today ended at Breaks Interstate Park. Both Kentucky and Virginia operate the park. It is called the Grand Canyon of the South. Riders ahead of us reported bears in the campground so we booked a room in the lodge for a reasonable price.

Park staff says it is a Broadheaded Skink.



This part of Virginia is home to many musicians including Dr Ralph Stanley and The Carter Family.


Good weather for the ride today.
Allright…Kentucky straight ahead…you guys covered a lot of miles in VA….good to get into bourbon and horse country
