1984 Bike Tour: Day 8 ? Natural Bridge seems so unnatural We bolted from the campground without breakfast, and coasted all the way down to the town of Vesuvius. This is one of the hardest climbs on the TransAmerica Route for eastbound riders; but going westbound, we weren't even warmed up. The guidebook says 200 people live here, but we didn't see a soul. Vesuvius is bisected by the Norfolk Western RR, and it looks like both halves were the "wrong side ...
1984 Tour: Day 7 ? Climb a mountain, meet the Cookie Lady This is by far the most difficult day of the trip. We rode through rolling farmland, struggled up switchbacks to the Cookie Lady's Bike House, then discovered the Blue Ridge Parkway is not level.

I speed downhill at top speed, cross a creek, then begin the uphill struggle. All that momentum is lost the ...

1984 Bike Tour: Day 6 ? Rest day; mailing gear back homeThat year?s Top 40 Six days into our TransAmerica bike tour, and we're already taking our first day off. The first five days have been a shakedown cruise -- the last days of training and the first of our trip. I feel that our journey begins in earnest tomorrow. After lolling around our hostess' apartment for a while, we boxed up some clothes to send back home. I sent back an extra sweater and other clothes that ...
1984 Tour: Day 4 ? Give me cycling or give me death I jumped out of the sack before 6, but we still didn't leave until 8. Three packets of instant oatmeal for breakfast. It's still friggin' cold (see Bruce in sweater, left). After pedaling around Ashland, we headed up some narrow roads to Scotchtown, the home of Patrick Henry. We ate an early lunch there and met the groundskeeper, an old guy in beatup overalls. After leaving Scotchtown, the route ...
