Hot and Humid in Virginia! :)
Re-re-re-crossed the border (sorry, lost track of number of times), now in Franklin, VA!!! :)
It's extremely hot and humid out, makes it hard to do anything but lie around, let alone ride a bike long distance under the sun, and with sudden thunderstorms breaking out... Yet it's so wonderfully beautiful to travel through the landscapes, meet the local people, experience the diversity of life.
Here, in eastern NC/VA, I've seen lots of farms, looks like tons of corn and soy lately, giant trees I'm not sure the names of, many brilliantly colorful dragonflies, and a lot of Revolutionary and Civil War history.
Bike's been grinding it out... After the last flat, I installed a new product, which I've been curious to try for a long time... a solid inner tube! (I got mine on clearance at Walmart.) According to the box, it "WILL NEVER GO FLAT", so hopefully this should improve the riding going forward. So far, so smooth...
Rock & Roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
