West Union, WV to Spencer, WV
~80 miles
by Francis Lynch
Today, like every other day, was a good day. After another early morning, the pastor's wife pleasantly surprised us with homemade egg sandwiches. Needless to say, I snuck an extra one from the breakfast buffet. We rode to the our nex rails to trails bike trail where we cruised past the civilians with huge tires it was intended for. The tunnels provided us with new scares, not accomodating our sunglasses.
After the bike trail we hit the West Virginia backroads, riding the ripples of the Appalachian mountains. Some of those ripples provided steep enough terrain to cause a leader fall, but Andy pushed on as strong-willed as usual. Bike partner, Corey, sea- anchored with his usual flat tires, but the riders pushed on.
Eventually we met Spencer and two nice churches which provided us with a wonderful dinner and accomodations at their beautiful wilderness camp complete with a swimming pool and log cabins. Hurricane awaits us.
