We pulled out early Friday morning, a little chilly but it quickly warmed up as soon as the sun peeked out of the clouds. We opted to take 33 so we could get close to WV sooner than later. A quick stop at the Mickey D's in Pomeroy and we were in WV for some nice scenery and small twisties to Fayetteville. We arrived at Woods Ferry, our cabin for the next few nights around 4:00 PM. Kicked off our boots and filled a tall glass to wait for the rest of the troops who rolled in around 7:00 PM - the night was fun filled with drinking and debauchery. "Tokyo?"
Early Saturday morning and we were off to the river. Mark rolled out to do some discovering in Southern WV and Eastern VA. The rapids and river were challenging as always. We only lost Tammy and her camera - luckily both were recovered downstream. Saturday night proved to hold up to its history - and the friendships just grew stronger.
Sunday morning we were off to find a few more twisties on our way north. The leaves were beginning to turn, we passed the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, chatted with a few other riders from Canada, and snapped a few photos. Off through the Monongahela National Forest where we settled in at the Holiday Inn Express for the evening. A great dinner at C.J. Maggies, a funnel cake on our way home, and the fluffiest pillows I can remember made for one more evening of memories not to forget.
Winding our way back home on Monday, catching Route 536 crossing the Ohio River in New Martinsville, makes me want to go back and do it again and again. Something about the roads, the rolling hills and the cows that make Southern Ohio one great riding destination.
More Fall Spectacular Riding to come. I'm going to be pretty sad when the snow starts falling - but for now I'm living my dreams.
Total Miles for me : 792
Total Miles for Mark: 1,112 (approx).
