I can’t believe I’ve ridden up and over the Blue Ridge Mtns now three times. I went over Massanutten Mtn to Luray this morning. And Eby errored out on me again just before the top. At least it’s not at the bottom. He must really be getting tired. I tho’t we had his problem fixed. He’s starting to make me really nervous. I still have lots of hills to ride. But I’m not going up and over a big mtn range again if I can help it.

I went through the Luray caverns this morning. Took more pictures than I can ever send. But here are a few of my favorites. Ignore the audio thing. I can’t get rid of it. There’s nothing there.

After going through the caverns, I went through a garden maze of junipers. Took me 20 minutes to get out.

After checking into the motel, I went looking for lunch. I was craving Italian, and the closest restaurant started being closed every tues as of today. Fine. I rode all the way to the other side of town (up and down big hills) to the other Italian restaurant, which was really good. On the way back to the motel, I stopped and rode the Greenway. It was short but very nice. And I saw my favorite little creatures, ducks. There were about 50 all sitting and napping in the shade between the river and the bike path. Apparently, they were used to people cause none got up and ran off. A couple gave a warning quack, but I talked to them softly, and they all stayed put. I used to have ducks and geese as pets, so this made my day. As I rode off, four Canada Geese flew into the river. So beautiful.

Only rode 20 miles today, but it was a fun day.
