Day #5-Rockfish Gap to Lexington, VA 50 Miles

Short and sweet.  Perfect day for the Blue Ridge Parkway to kick our butts! Also had a three mile thrill ride off the Parkway to the tiny town of Vesuvius.  Max speed today was 34 mph!  Min speed under 3 mph!  4000’ of climbing-does that sound like a lot?  My quads say ya!  Lexington is the home of Virginia Military Institute and Washington and Lee University.  Looks like a great college atmosphere but we’re too wiped to take much of it in.  We’re roughing it in an Econolodge.  Tomorrow we get back to camping.

    Tom, Ray and I were running to Rogers Lakewood this morning and ‘ran’ into Kearney. He told me about your blog. This is so cool- I lived in Lexington VA in 1989-90!
