The Whitmeadow Rendezvous was a smashing success!!! Six people including myself tackled the hair raising trails up on Cheat Mountain. Bruises and bumps abounded but no one had any serious injuries. The ride consisted of: Stonecoal, Crouch, Whitmeadow and the Shavers Fork River trail. The ride length was somewhere around 22 slow rolling miles. The conditions were perfect, dryish, sunny with a nice breeze. Post ride libations flowed freely and tasted excellent!

A big thanks to all that attended and a special big thanks to the fellas from the West Virginia Mountain Trail Runners. Dan Lehmann, Joel Wolpert and Adam Casseday have the trails up on cheat mountain in the best shape ever!

Saturday August 21st

Tomorrow is the second JBS sponsored WVMBA fun ride of the year, The Whitmeadow Rendezvous (best french ascent). The shop will be closed and I will be riding my bike for as long as possible. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Whitmeadow Rendezvous

The Whitmeadow Rendezvous WVMBA fun ride is just around the corner, August 21st to be exact.

Here are few details:

Where: The ride will be departing from FS road 209, off of RT 250 South of Huttonsville WV. If you are unfamiliar with the area your best bet is to swing by JBS and just follow us up.

When: The ride will start at roughly 11am Saturday August 21 on FS 209. We will be leaving from JBS at 10:00am.

What: This ride is not for novices! The trails are very rooty, rocky, slippery, slow and steep. Some of the most technical riding in WV! The trails are not manicured or groomed in anyway. Simply this ride is tough and scary. Distance will be roughly 17miles and will consist of techy singletrack and some fairly long FS road climbs.

Trail Allert!!!

The Charleston/DC bureaucrats are once again trying to take trails away from a user group to which I and many others belong. Someone thought it was a good idea to add North Fork Mountain Trail to a some pending wilderness legislation. North Fork is by far one of the most beautiful and rugged rides in WV. I have ridden it several times over the years and would hate to be forced into becoming an outlaw to ride it in the future.

Contact your supposed representative and let them know that you want them to keep there greedy blood stained hands off of our trails.

Head on over to IMBA sign up and join the fight.
