Radford, VA to Sugar Grove, VA – 65.41 miles, 10mph, +4968 elevation gain

From my Saddle – week 1. Yorktown, Va to Sugar Grove, VA. 441.51 miles total. 3776 to go. Lesson One! God is truly in control. Everyday in every way. Lesson Two! Jocelynn is absolutely incredible. Lesson Three! Everyday is a new adventure. You must roll with each obstacle. Enjoy the challenges. Lesson Four! Honestly, I wish it would slow down. Lesson Five! Stop watching the news. Americans are incredible people. We’ve met so so many. Lesson Six! Solar panel chargers do not work on cloudy days. Lesson Seven! I love your support. I need your support. I miss all of you. Question 1- I am not sure how Biden won VA. I have only seen one Biden poster. Trump/ Pence posters everywhere??? Today was an awesome day. I lose everything and forget everything but we already knew this. Jocelynn is getting used to working with an exhausted over 50 year old who had a brain injury. Not fun for her. I couldn’t do this without her. She is the best support coach ever. My phone died. I depleted 2 solar chargers. So my miles are actually 65.41. Some very hilly terrain but tomorrow has bigger challenges. We met a new friend Frankie from CA. He met us as we were coming out of a country church I cycled by and decided to join. That was an “ interesting” experience. I miss my BSCC family let’s just leave it at that. It looks like a dry day tomorrow. FINALLY!!! Hopefully I can get my miles in quicker.
