Day #4-Palmyra UMC to Rockfish Gap 55 miles

Will be praising the virtues of the 22 tooth inner chainring in this location eventually.  Staying at an over-priced dirtbag motel with bad WiFi near Rockfish Gap(1900’). A gap out east is a pass in the west which means that we went up in elevation.  We leave the James River watershed and enter the Shenandoah River watershed (I could be wrong here somebody leet me know!).  I read where it’s one of the few places along the spine of the Appalachian Mountains where the prevailing westerly winds can rush through and the winds were howling as we got here. This was a nice ride to our junction with the Blue Ridge Parkway. Tomorrow promises to be an awesome albeit cool day.
