So, today was a perfect day here in the Mid-Atlantic region: sunny, pleasantly cool in the morning, warm in the afternoon, low humidity. If you don't ride on a day like today, why bother to have a bike?

I went southwest into Virginia and West Virginia. Friends from NOVA will likely recognize some of these pictures, which I took in the Lost River region and beyond, down along US 220.

Getting there was very enjoyable...I used my go to route of US 340 (and a bit of I-81), but soon turned west on US 48. The road was excellent, empty and scenic:





US 48 takes you across the Lost River. 259 S is a good option, but today I went further west and turned S on US 220. What a beautiful road! It's curvy in the best way, and passes through beautiful farm country and forests. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves:















Lots of folks were out riding today...anyone else from this forum?

 

Yeah Hraefin, you were playing in my backyard. If you find yourself on 675 near Rt.11 try Sal's Bistro for lunch. Then take 675 over the gap and north on Fort Valley Road.


And the best riding of the season is just coming up.
