Troutville - Christiansburg
49 miles
4 hours and 30 minutes in the saddle
30.4 mph max speed
10.9 mph average speed
weather: hot and sunny and strong headwinds (when will get some tailwind?)
After yesterday's frustrations a good nights sleep helped clear our minds and we decided the best solution would be to get my bike fixed and then go off the Adventure Cycling Route and take the shortest road to Christiansburg, our next destination.
The staff at our favorite bikeshop in Virginia, Cardinal Bikes in Roanoke, were a bit suprised to see us waiting at their door when they opened. The mechanic changed my backwheel and also gave us some advice on the route to Christiansburg. The US 460 was a fairly busy, but wide road and it was ok to cycle. It avoided a big climb out to Catawba which was on the AC route.
After a couple of problems we are back on track and it feels good to be cycling.
