Today was a bit of a compromise. I've enjoyed the trip and had a good time, but now I'm ready to get back home. So I started off by riding secondary roads this morning for three hours, and then jumped on the interstate to cover some distance. I'll do the same tomorrow only in reverse. I'll probably ride the interstate to the Asheville area, and then jump on the secondary and back roads that I know in that area and arrive home tomorrow afternoon. Riding by the river in Pennsylvania this morning was nice, but I ran into a lot of small road construction projects. I like going thru the small towns, but it takes the fun out of it, when you have to make sure you don't ride into a rut, gravel, fresh oil, equipment trucks etc while heading down main street. As I have said before, pictures are difficult when you are on the interstate. I had a great view of the Met life blimp today (I'm guessing it had been in the Greensboro area for the golf tournament) as it flew by, but I didn't stop on the side of the interstate to take a picture. The semis are enough trouble for me, without giving them a standing target.
Present location: Lexington, Via.
Today's mileage: 480
Total: 4662
Today's photos: there were hundreds of these metal sculptures at one shop along the road. I really wanted to go in and talk to the owner to see if they were the ones making them, but the shop was not open yet.
