Charlottesville, VA to Lynchburg, VA 97 km, 1153m vertical climb        

Mexican Restaurant in Lynchburg

After getting lost twice yesterday, we took the main road today.  Route 29 runs straight to Lynchburg and we made good time riding the shoulder of a 4-lane highway.  We rode all day in the hills and climbed or descended all day.  We stopped in the suburbs outside Lynchburg at a Mexican restaurant to have a hot drink and reorganize our maps.  The waitress didn’t know what black tea was, so we picked our teabags, gave her some instructions about hot water and she made the best tea we’ve had this trip.  We had a second cup and by the time we left it was raining heavily so we checked in a the motel across the road.  After cleaning up we went back to the Mexican restaurant for supper and just one beer.

Just one beer
