Everything hurts...

Day 11 (June 19th)
60.5 miles today....

We arrived in Damascus, Virginia today around 4pm. After going through some more of the appalacian mountains we are exhausted but still in high spirits. Tonight we have found ourselves at "The Place" a hostel operated by the local church for both appalacian trail hikers and transamerica bikers. So far we are the only bikers at the place. We're beginning to wonder where all the other bikers are hiding.


Day 10 (June 18th)
40.2 miles after an afternoon start.


Day 9 (June 17th)
rest day
The Waffle House saved the day.

Day 8 (June 16th)
rest day
A lovely day of sleeping in and swimming at Claytor Lake State Park.


Day 7 (June 15th)
68.4 miles
Stayed at Claytor Lake Park
Rose got her first flat tire!
The boys arrived with food, tents, and good spirits.

Hi Maya,
I work with Carmen and Martha. Couldn't believe it when they told me your plan to bike cross country. It is very exciting following your journey and enjoying your updates. Hope you are checking in with Carmen daily--Mom's tend to worry ya know. Stay safe and enjoy the incredible adventure :-)

Dear Maya,
Made a donation today toward your ride and Greenpeace in memory of Cinni's black and white horse BEN. (No where on Pay Pal to make special requests.) Please think of them when cycling via Kentucky and horse country.
Thanks, Emily G.
