It felt a little weird getting on my road bike, (instead of my mountain bike), at the Wild Oak Trail parking lot outside of Stokesville. Kelly and I had decided to start our ride a little further from town, which allowed getting further away from the Burg in less time. We started from Wild Oak and took Leading Ridge road to Braley's Pond, then hopped on 250 and went over Confederate Breastworks. Two more climbs brought us to Monterey, Virginia for lunch. We rolled to Sally Hiner road next, and swung back and forth across Virginia/West Virginia state lines. No matter how bad you're slumming, Sally always puts on a party that leaves you dazed, dizzy, and stoked. Feeling even more weird, we pedaled up the last Shenandoah Mountain climb, hung out with David Taylor who had just casually bombed down the dirty side of Reddish, and then gradually descended back to our starting point. I got two flats in the last ten miles! Tour training at its finest.
