Mountains, Bridges, And A Whole Lot Of Water

I just returned home from my ride with Jonathan. We left yesterday afternoon and rode to Huntington West Virginia, where we stayed the night. At dawn we headed out toward Charleston W. Va. then through Parkersburg, and back into Ohio. The trip was almost 500 miles, and the scenery in the mountains, and along the Ohio river, was beautiful as always. Although, I have to admit each time we crossed a bridge, scenes of Minneapolis ran through my mind. I am certain it will be a trip Jonathan will remember for a long time as it was his first ride out of state, and it rained all day today!

Riding In West Virginia

Jonathan and I will soon be leaving for West Virginia. The trip will cover nearly 600 miles and will take us on Interstate highways, and winding mountain roads. The forecast is for sunny skies today, and a chance of thunderstorms on Sunday. This will be Jonathan's first overnight trip, and I think he is getting very excited about it. I hope he has a great time. We should return home some time Sunday afternoon. I will let all of you know how it turns out. Have a great weekend everyone.

Happy Birthday Jonathan!

This evening we celebrated my son, Jonathan's, twentieth birthday. We all went for dinner, then returned home for gift giving. My gift was a weekend bike trip through the mountains of West Virginia. We will leave this Saturday and return home late Sunday evening. It should be a blast. Happy Birthday son!
