Day 19 weather delay/ recovery day
Got on the road this morning and got 15 miles down the road to the closest city and made it to a hotel just in time. The weather is pretty bad been raining hard all day worst case tomorrow will have to re route our trip off the C&O trail and back on the road to Cumberland MD.
This hotel life for the day isn't such a bad thing, don't get me wrong I wish I was 50 or so miles up the trail but I haven't had a rest day since Charleston Sc and it's a good time to relax and get all reorganized.
Guest of Guest is playing another show May 11 and it's going to be the first time I've had the chance to see my good friends play live if you're Pittsburgh on the 11th come out!!!!

Day 16 Louis Va- Culpeper Va
Solid meal at smokin eddies BBQ
Pretty much the view all day
Getting into some hills hard to think about 2 weeks ago I was beachside
Another good night around a fire After yesterday ride I really needed a nice relaxed ride mentally and physically and today's 44 mile ride did the trick. For once I woke up at the camp site and just relaxed for a few hours then headed out to culpeper va where I meet my friend James. Tomorrow I start riding on the C&O trail witch takes me to the GAP.
