Bedford, VA to Appomattox, VA
Woke up to a steady rain this am, weather predictions indicated the rain would be out of the area between 8 and 9 am. Sure enough the rain ceased to cloudy cool temps. We gathered our gear and hit the road just after 9 am. We had pre-planned our route the night before. Leaving Bedford and route 460 breaking the law to get to the nearest exit through town. After a few miles, we entered route 43 south, Virginia Byway, a nice road with beautiful views for 10 plus miles. From there we navigated through other more rural areas, but again gorgeous view of the Virginia landscape. A few of our ascents in the distance reminded us of the Ozark mountain terraces we had to climb, but thankfully a much more forgiving on the climb elevations ☺.

This evening we are staying in historic Appomattox, which happens to be the location where one of the last battles of the American Civil War occurred. It was the final engagement of Confederate Army, Robert E Lee, and Union Army, Ulysses S Grant in 1865.
Hi Randy and Karen,
ReplyDeleteJust checking in to see what time you are planning to leave Norfolk on Saturday and your tentative arrival time to the beach? Hope all is well!
Thanks,
Adam
You've got this in the bag. I was hoping to join you for the last leg of your ride but I'm out of the country. Thinking of you both and your accomplishment of a life time.
