I beat my speed record today by .02 mph. 45.39.
The weather was amazing. (another reason for not leaving Asheville yesterday was the storminess). high 70s today.
there were a bunch of overlooks along the way to stop at and try not to take a dozillion pictures (not of me... but my mom likes it when i take pictures of myself at places, so I do that).
I did stop at one of the overlooks and met this guy. he gave me a sandwhich and we ate lunch. super cool. turns out, he has been doing bike tours for much of his life. He grew up in Philly and used to bring inner city kids into the PA country on bike tours. now he's a part of the Greensboro, NC bike coop. (btw, Nashville: we need to start a coop NOW)
anyway, he said that eventually you get older and buy a moped. I'm down with that. we had a great talk.
then I got hungry again. my bike wasn't hungry, so I ate the trail mix. I also ate a cucumber. and a banana.
then I took a scenic shot that totally did it justice. tons of justice.
overall, enjoyed the day. tried to take it easy but wanted to push through. like always.
