We decided to start with one of our favorite trail systems – Buffalo Mountain. It rained last night, so there was absolutely no dust. There were, on the other hand, an over abundance of cold, annoying, goggle obscuring mud puddles.
First we rode to Delbarton, a pleasant warm up and then back to the trucks. Next, we headed off to Williamson. We arrived in Williamson at almost exactly noon… on Sunday in West Virginia… it was pretty much a ghost town. The single gas station in town was open so we grabbed a snack and got gas. The helpful attendant suggested we cross the border to Kentucky to get some fast food. Larry was the bravest getting Taco Bell. He’s crazy.
From Williamson, we started riding to Matewan. Got delayed on Trail 12 for a few minutes… more on that at a later date… long story. As we continued to Matewan, we encountered some mechanical issues with Todd’s machine, but a little Yankee ingenuity cleared things up and we made it the rest of the way. On the way back, Andy’s machine spun a rear end bearing... we weren’t far the trailhead so we finished the trip back. Naturally, since it was a less than perfect day, it started raining as soon as we pulled in to the parking lot. Beautiful…
