Day 44- Breaks to Damascus

I took my time over breakfast, because the view from the restaurant
over the canyon was stunning. The fog lifted slowly, and it stayed
cool all day- actually almost too cold, so that I would only sweat on
the hard climbs! Virginia is beautiful, and although some of the
climbs are very steep, I enjoy the riding here a lot. I feel really
strong so I don't mind doing several steep climbs every day. Coming
down the hills is actually really hard work too, as the descents are
steep and have lots of sharp corners so I need to use the brakes
almost constantly! Once I got to Damascus, I went for a quick check up
at a bike store. The brakes needed adjusting after the heavy use
they've been getting! Everything else is in great shape so I'm all set
for the last few days... About 485 miles to Yorktown!
