In August 2017 I set out on an open-ended cycle tour circumnavigating the US. This video blog highlights the fifth leg of my journey from Richmond to Smith Mountain Lake.

This was some of the most beautiful riding of the tour! It was all quiet back road riding out to the lake. This was also my first view of the incredible Blue Ridge Mountains. I enjoyed having them on my right side as I pedaled along. It was an incredibly emotional ride for me as the scenery washed over me. I finally reached the lake and I was greeted by two happy dogs! From there I boated, paddle boarded, swam, and hiked. Check out the video for more!
