This past weekend, Bev and I were in Virginia where we rode on the Virginia Creeper Trail and the New River Trail. They were two of the best rides we've made on a tandem. It made buying the tandem mountain bike worthwhile. Although we spent a couple of days with steady rain, the first day we were there we managed to ride because the mountains shielded that part of the area. SO we enjoyed a beautiful, sunny afternoon in the middle of the color change that makes riding in the mountains so beautiful this time of year. Then on Saturday morning, the rain let up so we were able to do the New River Trail. Again some of the most beautiful scenery you'd ever care to see as we traveled along FLAT trails beside Chestnut Creek.
Bev is a believer now. She is into mountain biking since she has learned where they can take you. This morning we went out and did a ride in the National Forest here. No color or views like up in Virginia, but it was a nice morning with a clear blue sky.
