Day 12: Even though it was pretty to look at, the WHOLE riding day was in the rain. Roughly 4 hours. There was a few breaks to catch my breath (nerves). Therefore my excursions were a total bust. Wouldn’t risk my health. Nice part of the day I was surrounded by these magnificent mountains throughout the stretch. The rain did make the green greenery so rich and vibrant in color. West Virginia definitely took a shift and its surroundings.
Oh wait, did I just say WEST VIRGINIA? Yes I did…I accomplished my dream board goal of visiting the 48!!!
As anxious and completely annoyed over the rain ordeal, the site of the multi dimensional clouds hovering around and the little like bursts of smoke looking fog coming from the mountains gave a eerie but fascinating spectacle to watch. I was definitely relieved when arriving in Summerville after checking in the rain finally stopped and the sun came out. I had plenty of time to take some amazing pictures. See some of the sunset and its gorgeous colors. Overall, with today, I’m pretty stinking proud of myself. I definitely held my own 💪🏻 and Ms Roxy was definitely da 💣!
