Day 15 Rosedale to Breaks Interstate Park

Another sunny day on the Virginia Riviera. Yesterdays respite from the rain did not last long and we commenced 3 days of tough riding with driving rain and freezing cold temperatures well into lunchtime. Coffee stops were tbin on the ground today but we found a dinky little restaurant in Haysi which refuelled us before the final ascent up to our overnight stop. Ellen was somewhat excited by the discovery of her surname on a street sign but found herself vertically challenged in her attempts to collect it as a souvenir. Today is our last day in Virginia as tomorrow we enter the dangerous dog  state of Kentucky. We have various defence mechanisms at the ready ranging from M & M's to pepper spray and boiled eggs.
The good news is that it might be sunny tomorrow and it might not rain.
