It is very humid here still and I'm sweating buckets on the bike.
I decided to slow down a bit as I wad tired...last night was a sleepless night due to the express trains honking all night long!
At one point I took a wrong turn and rode about two miles in the wrong direction....ill blame the GPS even though it aS clearly my fault for being asleep lol!
Buccanan and Lexington ate both nice small towns. Lexington has lots of small shops and is one of the nicest towns I have seen all ride. It plays a lot on the civil war and I went to stonewalled jacksons tomb...a confederate field Marshall who seems to have been demi god like status here.
Then while I was pulled over on the side of the street looking at my map a Japanese woman started pleading with me not to give her a parking ticket...to funny!
I got some advice from the visitor centre on civil war sites...and then headed to subway...who seem to be sole providers of fresh food on this route. Here I was submitted to a full on life story by some sdangwrously fat woman who decided to tell me how she couldn't fit into an airplane seat on her trip to Hawaii last year...I resisted the temptation to give her directions to the nearest bicycle shop.
Finally after a hot and humid 60 miles I got to the campground. Here I have to advise any cyclists planning this trip to cruise on by the mallard duck campground outside Lexington...the guy is an arse and there are more facilities in city parks for free than there are here . Anyway its only one night and all I'm doing here is sleeping.
All around this campground there are people shooting rifles...I hope at targets and nothing else...oh and now there are chainsaws and big dogs barking and loud country music.....what is it about people in the mountain valleys....I blame in breeding myself.
Tomorrow um out if here ans off up a mountain called vesuvious. I'm told it'd a tough but pretty climb.
