The family went to the Episcopal church retreat up in the mountains last weekend. It’s called Shrine Mont and it is near Bryce. The church we attend here locally doesn’t go but my Mother in Law’s church from Richmond goes every year so we hitch hike along with them. It’s beautiful up there and up for a trip to the mountains most anytime.
I didn’t take my bike but I did meet a guy there who rides essentially everywhere. He rode his bike from Mechanicsville all the way to Bryce. That’s a long way baby. He’s been hit by cars 4 times – once very seriously – but he won’t give up.It’s also a very unique experience b/c the church is an open air affair built of stone and it’s right up in the woods.
