Forecast
was scattered showers and the sky was gray when we pulled out of the parking
lot at 9 AM but in an hour or so the sun started peeking through the clouds and
by noon it was full on hot and sunny.
Thank the Lord for a great riding day.
Glenn had selected some of West Virginia’s best country roads but then
almost all West Virginia roads are great.
We had mountains to climb and mountains to roll down with grades of 7%
and 8%. We had rolling turns, tight
turns, hairpin and switchback turns all challenging our skill and nerves. We saw rivers and streams tumbling over
jagged rocks; we saw homes built on small islands in the middle of the river or
down the side of the mountain (wonder just how they managed to get a trailer
down that steep grade?). We rolled back
in the parking lot at 5:15 PM and then left again at 5:45 for dinner. We had 14 bikes on the ride and we have 22
UTR members attending the rally. Today’s
ride was a total of 249 miles. The guys
are playing cards or wiping down their bikes while the ladies are either
watching TV or reading. A pleasant
ending to a wonderful day.
