Day 6 - 80 miles - 5:52 hours

pointing out the weather divide from Mt. Mitchell 
A long day 6 of our Blue Ridge Parkway Bicycle Ride for a Cause came with many magic moments - close up deer viewing, hot chocolate warm up, Red Salamander, long range mountain views, and being on top of the Eastern United States.

From fog to clear skies, from mist to sunshine - day 6 of our end-to-end-adventure disclosed many treasures of the Blue Ridge Parkway to us. We cycled from Milepost 304 (Linn Cove Viaduct Visitor Center) to Milepost 384 (Blue Ridge Parkway Visitor Center in Asheville) and enjoyed Mount Mitchell and Craggy Gardens, white-tailed deer and much much more on the way.

By now, time has really become relative - if not even arbitrary. We find ourselves saying to each other: "only 2 hours of cycling left" - well, putting that into the perspective of our everyday lives, when we try hard to carve out half an hour or a full one to go cycling, speaks for itself. Especially considering, that our legs have already pushed ourselves and the bicycle through the hilly nature for some three hours already, when these words leave our mouths. Figure that one out!

Our video blog of today is now live, play it and enjoy the scenery!
