Day 47 – Wytheville to Daleville
Fri 23rd July 2010 Today we finally cycled through the 4,000 mile barrier to clock 4,011 miles by the end of the day. That leaves just 330 miles to Yorktown which we know is not far but after 47 days of cycling it’s far enough! Today has been a hot one, probably the hottest day […]

The host, David, looked after us well and provided a baked potato and ice cream for desert. The breakfast this morning was also […]
