Posted from Romney, West Virginia, United States.
It was only a few days ago in Ohio that I had my easiest day of the summer. Today was the hardest. I spent all day on Route 50, heading east across WV. To my surprise, a few miles outside of Bridgeport the road changed from a wide highway with a big shoulder and gentle grades to a narrow two-laner with hills, hills, hills. This change meant less traffic and fun riding but also lots of pain. One of the most frustrating parts of the day was the poor quality of the road. It forced me to go slower on the downhills than I would have otherwise. The wind was against me again too. Despite the non-ideal conditions, the ride was beautiful and the people were nice. The distance I covered today sets me up nicely for a short day tomorrow so that I can catch the US game at 2pm. I should be back home in VA on Monday night.
