Today I took the Lotus on the interstate loop ride. It turned out to be the most enjoyable ride I have done this year, around 59 miles in 5 hours at a relaxed pace.
Crossing into West Virginia:
At Sweet Springs:
At the top of Peter's Mountain, looking back down into West Virginia:
It is only around 2000 feet elevation gain from bottom to top in three miles, but some sections are steep. (I LOL'd at the Bob sticker on the sign) Looking ahead into Virginia:
A nice view close to home:

We had 72 riders for last night's pub crawl. It was a very mild night, the coolest in a month or two, after a rainy Saturday.

I haven't added it up yet but my guess is around 120k total. Pennsylvania just goes straight up and down all day.
Yes, one day two girls crashed and had to call an ambulance. As a precaution they gave one a neck brace and allowed us to keep it. She is only wearing it as a joke here.
