Winter Road Touring in the Shenandoah Valley - even the locals get in the miles!

bishop gave me this helmet last week

i was using my climbing helmet because it is more adjustable

he thought i look like a dork

i always look like a dork

i made his really nice trek helmet look dorky today

anything to stay warm

function over form for me!

that is Mole Hill over yonder

looking back east towards town and Massanutten

this guy was riding home from school

maybe a Mennonite youngster

maybe just a farmer

you can tell riding his bike is a huge part of his life

i had to stop and take in this view

jr. started putting the drop on me

looking north west towards whitegrass

jr. is almost out of sight

heading up the backside of Mole Hill

looks like snow in WV

dropping over the hump that is Mole Hill to the east

I was able to get in 1 hour out in the Valley
Dreamcicle...shiney and scenic!
