Week of 10/23 Rides

Wednesday Night Ride starting at Doug's house in Oglebay at 6pm. We will be riding on gravel roads and climbing some hills this week. Planned route may be out 88 to GC&P to Boone and Hedges road. From there we will hit North Fork back to 88. After we go through West Liberty we will climb the hill out towards Bethany. We will turn off onto Locust Grove down to Castlemans Run over to Longs Run Road over to GC&P. From GC&P we will turn onto Dement Run Rd back to 88 and back to Doug's.

Last week we had three people, hopefully we will have more this week (I have given up on Dave, but Kevin may join us). Weather looks clear but cold. Might be upper 40's, low 50's for the ride. Please bring headlights, mountain bike with lower gearing, and dress appropriately. If you don't own cold weather gear you may want to stop at Wheelcraft and check out their gloves, jackets, and headgear. Please call me at 304-281-7041 for directions to Doug's house.

Scatterday Has A Vision ... - Wheeling Intelligencer

Robert Scatterday has a vision that begins in Wheeling and ends in Mount Vernon, Va. Included in this vision is a bicycle, a rider and a strip of pavement that allows a person to pedal from Wheeling to George Washington's homestead without getting off a dedicated cycling trail. But progress in Ohio County is putting part of Scatterday's vision into question, as the re-opening of the Tunnel Ridge coal mine on Short Creek Road could lead to the closing of a section of Wheeling's Heritage Trail. Tunnel Ridge owns the coal loadout area on W.Va. 2 just north of the Pike Island Locks and Dam, and 1,470 feet of the trail system crosses the coal company's property. Tunnel Ridge currently is in the process of renovating the property for its loadout area. more...
