Before getting into Roanoke we stopped for some wine tasting at a local vineyard.
An amazing farm along the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Matt next to the sign marking our highest elevation to date on the ride.


Ross descending down a hill through the Appalachian Mountains.



Ross asking a local to throw him up a beer, to bad the valley below was nearly 2,000 feet down.




Looking out over "20 minute cliff"
Over this rock there is approximately a 200 foot drop.


Enjoying the view before our decent out of the Appalachian Mountains.


Our camp site at Lake Sherando, which was nearly 1,000 feet below our bicycle route. It was one heck of a climb getting back to our route the next morning!


Action photo of Matt eating on the side of the road. We are constantly eating anything we can get our hands on.

Ross riding with the rain covers on. We have been threatened by rain every day thus far.
