Several members of the River Valley Mountain Bike Association decided to converge on the little town of Davis, WV for a three day riding weekend. Many had never ridden in the area around Davis however had heard all about the trails from me. So now I had to join them and show them the trails I love so well.
The main group of 12, counting myself and Malibu, rolled into camp arond 10 a.m., set up camp and were climbing aboard our bikes for the first ride of the weekend by 11:45 a.m. Since the group was looking for about a 15 mile ride we stuck out into the nearby CVI trails right from camp.
After riding through the lower trails it was off to the our favorite spot in this area. Here we
pause for the view on top Mt. Strip Mine enroute to Moonrocks.
Then it was off to Moonrocks. A few shots coming off Mt. Strip Mine and then some climbing Moonrocks.
The group had an awesome time on Moonrocks and the ride continues. Here good friends Steve and Pat close in on HooDoo Rocks with Dave not far behind.
Then followed by an awesome jaunt down toward campsite # 7.
After a great downhill run, we turned up by Yellow Creek, crossed the newer bridge, and rode up the new trail to a fun little rock garden on the new extension to Rock Shock.
We followed the new extention back to the beginning of Rock Shock, took the yellow diamond trail to the white diamond trail and rode it back to town. Everyone had a great time and more fun after enjoying an evening of dinning at Siriani's. They ran out of beer so we struck Hellbenders. (This is a must for anyone visiting Davis - The most awesome buritos around).
We made it back to camp just before dark and stoked up the campfire for a great evening of conversation. Before the evening was over we gained three more folks who were old friends of many there. By our count, our attack ride on North Sods on Saturday would be an amazing 15 riders.
