127: Chillin' in Christianburg

Not too much to say about a rest day, other than it's pretty damn hot!  And we have reached the land of the super-chilled indoors, which is to say we walk into a restaurant or store and it's freezing!  And them we walk out and our glasses fog up.

We typically wash out our riding togs each day and roll them in a towel, then hang them up. Mostly, they will be dry in the morning. However, it is so humid here, that stuff is just not drying. We've have taken them outside where it's sunny and surreptitiously laid them out on the bushes around the corner of the motel to dry! Now, I would not do this at a high-end Marriott. But this is a Super 8 - and no one seems to mind.

So here is a little summary of the trip to date:
