Day 6: The Floyd Loop
June 2, 2024
182 Miles
Finding my bike almost tipped over on the center stand again the next morning, we left the hotel in Floyd under ominous skies. I went “gore-4” before we even left anticipating the rain. As we made our way north, we stopped at a coffee shop in Salem, VA - Mill Mountain Coffee - outside of the ones that I make, it is today the very best Americano I have had in my life.
More beautiful countryside and roads as we made our way to Stuart, VA to the Stagecoach Coffee - a very nice place I have visited more than once.
For a while, we gained the Blue Ridge Parkway with beautiful vistas, diverse plant life, and nice roads.
Coming back into Floyd early in the afternoon, I visited the cemetery outsides the Floyd Hotel. I remember at the time being really taken back by it. That evening, we had dinner at El Charro Mexican Grill - we all ordered the same meal. It was so funny to watch how each of us systematically took down the plate.
