Wednesday Night Ride 10/11/2006 WRAPUP

22.5 miles/13.3mph/RAIN

Doug, Sarah, and I rode on Wednesday night. We had sprinkles for a little bit. It cleared up and was quite nice riding back from the damn, until we hit east Wheeling. About a half a mile from Tunnel Green the clouds opened up and rained down. It continued to get heavier as we neared Washington Ave, where we bid Sarah farewll, and started to lighten up as we made it to the trail head in Elm Grove.

I am still planning on riding tonight if the rain moves through. The weather shows clearing late afternoon, and chance of rain early evening. Kevin cannot ride tonight, so I would like to start at the Mason Rehab Center at 7pm. Please email to let me know if you will be riding. My cell phone number is 304-281-7041.

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...
