Day 7 Christianburg, Va to Wytheville, Va

Yorktown, Va to Wytheville, Va   432 Miles Completed



Day 7 Detail Christianville to Wytheville, Va

Very similar ride to yesterday's. Lots of up and downs but ride seemed a little easier. Got some bonus miles when I turned left instead of right near Radford, Va. You'll notice a little squiggle of my route on the map above. Had two loaded hot dogs at a little county store for lunch. The loading included cold slaw, chile, onions, relish and ketchup and mustard. Sounds strange but they were pretty good.

About 25 miles into the ride I started having some pain in my right knee. Margie gave me two Aleve and I moved my saddle up 1/4 inch. That seemed to fix the problem and I finished the ride strong and without the pain.

Discovered I left my tennis shoes somewhere along the way. Stopped at a shoe store in Wytheville and picked up another pair. Staying at the Ramada Inn tonight. The Schnitkers and Jen are at the KOA about 7 miles out of town.


Saw this on the way to Wytheville (I think they make GatorAid there)

Heading up tomorrow from Wytheville
