Day 6

Rode from Culpeper, VA to Greenwood, VA.  When I left, there was light rain which continued most of the morning.  The road was very hilly, and I rode for about 6 miles on a dirt road with continuous small but steep hills.  The sky stayed overcast, but towards the end of the day, I approached the Appalachian Mountains and had some amazing views (didn't stop for photos, unfortunately).  About 10 miles out, I finally linked up with Bike Route 76, probably the most well-travelled cross-country bike route, going from Yorktown, VA to Astoria, OR.  I will follow Route 76 most of the way from here to Pueblo, CO.  I ended the day at a campground, where there is another cyclist staying who is riding across the country.  I unfortunately didn't get to meet him.  Distance ridden:  about 70 miles.
