The dreamy tour started as a friday night camping trip along side the river at Seneca Rocks. Andy, Mike and myself arrived in a drizzle about 10:30 pm. Set up camp and waited for Joey to show up. He ended up being at a different spot and met up with us in the a.m. Dave joined up with us as well for a nice mellow 3 hour jaunt to the highest point in WV, Spruce Knob at 4863'.
A few pics from the top!
This is where the ride started getting sweet. Instantly the trail turned to rocks and roots and then switched to mostly rocks. Oh so sweet! Here's a little rock love along the way.
The vicious is stoked to be back on some WV terrain, it's been a while.
Chillin' with the group at the top of High Meadow, eating up the sweet trail side treats, blackberries.
Dropped down to the creek, wanted to swim but didn't want to be cold and wet. The scenery along the way is spectacular, to say the least!
Did a quick-ish hike-a-bike up to the Alleghany Trail then railed it with a big ole grin all the way to the bottom. An easy 7 mile spin back to Senaca Rocks and day 1 was done.
Absolutely beautiful! Ended up with a little over 50 miles of some killer WV bliss. Most of the climbing was on old country roads and the descending on amazing trail. This turned out to be the theme of the week.
There aren't a lot of action shots as the trails and riding were to good to stop and pull out the camera! Once you got into a groove you didn't want to lose it. Focus on the task at hand. That was the objective. To be continued for the next three days!
They're getting longer now.
