11/3 Weekend Ride Wrapup

Sarah called on Saturday at 11am to go for a ride. It was 38 degrees at the time. We decided that it would probably be better to ride on Sunday since it was supposed to be in the mid fifties on Sunday.

40.17 miles
13.30 mph ave
1419 feet vertical climbing

I rode from my house down into Bellaire and rode RT7 up to Bridgeport. I crossed the island and headed into town. I took the trail out to Washington Ave and headed down
National Road to meet Sarah. We rode out 88 to Waddles Run. Once we climbed into Oglebay we turned onto Caddy Camp Road and headed up to 88. We headed out 88 and stopped at Henry's Gas Station. John Cusack and Brad Hand showed up and we BS'd for a while. Then we headed out GCP to Short Creek. We headed down the trail to town and headed out to Washington Ave. We ended up at Sarah's on National Road. I headed over to my brother's house where I requested SAG.

I am only 2 miles from hitting 2800 miles for the year.

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...
