Went on a really fun ride in Lewis County / Weston today, and ended up by Stonecoal lake. The waterfall was flowing very fast, and since we were ahead of schedule, Tiffin and I decided to stop for a photo opportunity.

Last year, the waterfall was trickling like a leaky sink by August, so it is always exciting to see it flow this fast!

Thank God for this beautiful weather, and I hope the snow stays away! I need to lose a couple pounds!

After nearly every ride with my friends on campus, we end up rolling around the landscape and sidewalks of West Virginia Wesleyan College. We don’t do this to piss off faculty and students, but more for a fun and easy way to enjoy ourselves while cooling down.

Today, we conquered The Rock

Well, that's Philippi for 'ya...

Went on a ride in Phillipi today, and it struck me as such a fun ride that I am going back tomorrow. Not too many trails do this to me, so I thought it would be worth noting that Thad’s Singletrack in Philippi WV = top notch.

As JR Petsko says:

Six mile loop with single and double track leading you out along the beautiful Tygart River, this will warm you up for the first climb. You will then dump onto single track for a piece and then onto more double track and into the second climb which is mostly single track with two switchbacks at the top you will then start down some seriously fun double track leading to yet more technical signal track. In this section there are some rock gardens and trees to cross and finally a mad dash to the start/finish area.

A friend from Wesleyan asked me to come and help out with a project she was working on involving; my job was to help tune up bikes, and I think Shannon did a better job describing what was going on than what I could do:

About a dozen or so people dropped off their bikes during lunch to be tuned up, or sized up to the rider. We had a blast, and I met a bunch of underclass that have started up after I have graduated. Seeing how Buckhannon is only 2.8 miles to just about the furthest stretches of anywhere in town from campus, a bike is the perfect thing to see more college students utilizing!
