2019-04-08 : Orange .. then Keesletown

Hi All!

Yesterday's plan changed as we saw the weather was better east of the Blueridge, so we drove to Madison and parked at the library and reversed one of our favourites.

As we left town into the Hebron Valley, we saw the sun shining on Old Rag Mountain ... so I actually stopped to try a zoom shot across the fields. Worked!

After riding the back roads through Novum with threatening clouds, we turned right onto the beautiful Oak Park Rd and the sun came out! We took Beautiful Run Rd and Carpenter back to Madison.

Then we drove to Harrisonburg and this morning we woke up to humid air and afternoon rain so we got an early start on the Keesletown 60km along Mountain View road up against Massanutten mtn. It was very pretty and quiet for 25km! Strong head wind on the return leg .. but still a great ride!

We are now settled in to our airbnb in Bridgewater. It is a very spacious and comfortable place! Charles, Carman, Doug and Morley plan on joining us later in the week for some riding!

Cheers
Harold and Marion
