Wahoo

So yesterday, got my 20 mile ride on and then played soccer. Today, I hit the South Fork before another 21 mile ride. This time I went up Smith Chapel until I found Old Saltworks, and took that until I hit Saltville (at which point I came home back through Glade). The ride post-saltville was on some busier roads (complete with one honking jerk and one chicken-playing car); the ride pre-saltville was quite beautiful, though also pretty darn hilly. Pics fm the south Fork and some new ones from a different part of Old Saltworks are included.

Out on Old Saltworks

4.04.2009

yay






Finally got out on a bike again (yay for a weekend without rain). This time only 20 miles to a nearby town and back via Old Saltworks (an excellent, cow-filled, dog-free, windy, gorgeous road, by the way). There was quite a headwind going out, but that made the ride back home even better. Old Saltworks also has this great slightly-downhill couple miles that I got to spin on, going around 25mph for quite a while. As promised, I have FB pictures (the south fork run was too quick to get pics this past week, perhaps a longer run will happen tomorrow) and one of a view off Old Saltworks (the entire road is nice, but this section was relatively suspicious-farmer free). Hope you enjoy.
