One of the many overlooks with great views on the BRP . Three days of riding, Fancy Gap, VA to Greensboro, SC. 250 miles, 26K ft of climbing and a couple great nights of camping.Day 1, the problem with a 5 year old book about the BRP? Closed restaurants! 5 hours in & I could have really used this place.Restaurant closed? No problem! Very friendly travelers stopped to give me a chicken biscuit when they saw the restaurant was closed. The people you meet are the best part of all trips.Reach camp after dark, buy what I can at the gift shop & enjoy the fried chicken & biscuit from fellow travelers.Day 2 sunsetI now know I can set up a tent in the darkDay 3, ran into English Phill from Brooklyn on the way out of camp. 3+ hour climb to Mt Mitchell & Crabby Gardens. Great conversation helped make the 25 mile climb enjoyable. Phill turned off to Asheville as I went to Greenville, SC.Linn Cove ViaductBefore…and afterOne of the many rest stops along the BRP. All the climbing is rewarded!Done for the nightIn the cloudsAfter 110 mile day, it was great to reach Greenville
