For the first time on the trip, we stayed off the bike entirely today because of weather. It was raining with lightning nearby this morning, and the next leg of our journey climbs up to the Blue Ridge Parkway. It will be hard enough in decent weather, so we stayed a second night at our luxury B&B, and spent the day reading, relaxing, and letting our brains rot. The weather forecast for tomorrow is better, and we'll be on the road no matter what.
We have settled on our final destination for the trip, at Alexandria, VA. It is about 50 miles and one day further than the traditional Yorktown, but my brother and his wife have invited us to end our trip at their house on the shore of the Potomac, and we are looking forward to seeing them.
At the end of week 12 we are at 3962 miles and 149,018 feet of climbing.
