Now that’s an EPIC adventure!! I am in awe and totally amazed at your accomplishment - and with rain no less!!! You Rock! I grew up in Virginia and spent lots of time on the Blue Ridge Parkway and have driven the entire length of it. I cannot imagine the thrill of cycling that much of it!! Beautiful pics too - you definately have something to be proud of!! And I am just trying to get a century under my belt - you rode that practically every day, and with some serious elevations - whoohoo!!

Thanks! It really was incredible. I look at those numbers and I can't believe I did it, either.
But you know, my "cycling life" started back in 2003 training for a century with Team in Training, so there's no telling where your bicycle will take you if you keep at it.
This particular adventure came my way because my training partner is turning 50 next month and this was how he wanted to commemorate it. It sounded like something I'd like to try, so here we are.

Thanks everybody!
When I took my bike to the shop last week for a thorough cleaning after all the rain, the mechanic found that my fork was cracked. Can you believe it? I've only had it for 4 months and never rode in conditions that would explain that happening. It must have just been defective.
So after riding so much in 5 days, I haven't been able to ride since! I'm waiting for Trek to find a replacement fork that matches my paint job. I miss my pretty Madone!
