Day 5 to Christiansburg, Virginia (80 MIles)

Just a quick post as it's been a real toughy today. A good morning was followed by a miserable afternoon where we spent the majority climbing large hills in the rain.

Spirits were dampened further when we hit Roanoak and had our first taste of American road rage (from a very fat man in a 4x4). Joe fell off as a result of his antics. His prized jacket hasn't faired too well but apart from that's he's fine but after so much warmth and welcome in Virginia it was a real shame.

On arrival at our stop for the night we discovered that the rain that we'd been soaked by all afternoon was part of a storm that generated the first tornado in Roanoak since 1973. Hopefully it got the fatty in the monster truck.

Hi Chaps!
Sorry to hear about the road rage incident Joe. Glas you're OK. But even if the storm didn't get the fat guy maybe Karma will!
Keep on paddling. Sorry, pedalling!
