Greg and I spent a weekend in Danville, Virginia, and I enjoyed riding on the Riverwalk Trail which is situated along the Dan River. The city of Danville got its name because it developed near a major crossing and falls on the Dan River which powered the massive historic Dan River Mills textile operation, shaping the local economy for generations. In the decades since the textile industry died, Danville has transformed its old tobacco warehouse district into a bustling River District featuring local restaurants, breweries, loft apartments, and a gorgeous riverfront park.






As some of you may know, I have more than a passing interest in cycling. On the 16th of May the professional “Tour of Norway” passed my way. I arrived early at my chosen vantage point at least an hour before the riders turned up. People were already out and about eagerly awaiting the riders and,given the next day was a national holiday everyone was in a festive mood.
