Man down!

We are back in Charlottesville with full stomachs and clean bodies, but long faces. Scott, riding companion and chief navigator, is having serious knee trouble: Iliotibial Band Syndrome, to be specific. His knee gave out on him on the climb to Afton mountain, en route to the Blue Ridge Parkway, and we descended to Charlottesville to reevaluate. According to Wikipedia, Scott should avoid running, stair climbing, deadlifting, court sports, martial arts, and bowling. We've focused instead on eating, sleeping, and air hockey. Doc appointment at 4:30, we hope for the best!



Also, I went with the panniers. They feel great.
