Billie and I drove to Galax to ride part of the New River Trail. I was so thankful for all the shade on the trail – ALL the trails actually – it’s significantly cooler.

We rode toward Fries which is pronounced just like you’d expect in the summer, but pronounced “freeze” in the winter, or so they say.

We stayed at the Martha Washington Inn in Abingdon. The house was built as a family home in 1832. In 1858, it became a women’s college.
