A few words about Russ

Russell Peck was an avid cyclist who fell in love with the sport over the last few years. He was dedicated to his training and showed unbelievable improvement during his tenure with the Trizilla Cycling Team, especially in the area of hill climbing. He was a great friend to everyone on the team and always had the first smile of the ride. His grin was contagious and he was always a pleasure to be around.

Russell was taken from us prematurely when he was murdered a few weeks ago. We will all miss him very much and would like to honor him with this ride.

The Bipolar Trail - North Bend Rail Trail

North Bend Rail Trail We drove from Wheeling, WV to the trail head outside of Clarksburg, WV, a two hour drive. The plan was to ride from Clarksburg to Parkersburg, stay overnight, and return the next day. The first few miles of the North Bend Rail Trail started out promisingly. From the Wolf Summit eastern terminus the double track trail is comprised of gravel. The trail soon turned into a challenging combination of flooded sections, flooded tunnels, single track, and finally the joy of riding on trail sections completely overgrown by grass (with ruts thrown in to make it interesting). We even interrupted a few people mowing the section of the trail that ran through their back yard. We also experienced mechanical issues, unrelated to the trail, but none the less frustrating.

After 29 miles we reached the town of G...

Wednesday Night Ride Report

By
We had four people for the Wednesday night ride. Kevin, Doug, Sarah, and I rode 32 miles. We rode the trail from Elm Grove to Wheeling, then continued up to the Brooke county line. On the return down the river we decided to ride up 1st Street towards North Park. Then we turned onto Mt Wood Road down to National Road and the Indian. We then rode down Wheeling Hill past Fulton, through Woodsdale, where Sarah left us, and down National Road to Elm Grove. Weather was nice, it was cool and clear.
