I thought they let bicycles on for free?

I'd like to visit Blacksburg. I still have a fondness for Charlottesville too. In general that whole region is beautiful, great riding from Shenendoah down to the Great Smokies and fun to explore.

LOL! Yeah.

Salt of the earth people for sure and I do miss that aspect of being back there. I don't miss the humidity and just those memories are one reason I'm pretty sure I'll never return.

But having spent time in Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana that is the south to me and a bit of a culture shock from what I grew up with in VA.

It really does come down to a matter of perspective.

Our farm was basically that field north of the rest station as well as 40+ acres of the woodland to the left. I've still got 6 acres there, just in case.

Lurray is such a cool little town too. There used to be an awesome stage race in that area with a ctiterium down town and a road race in the valley. One of the few races I've ever done where you can hit 60MPH!
