Originally my thought was to ride all of Skyline, then stop off at Walton's Mountain before heading home. I knew last week there were some colors up there, so figured I'd see how far along it was this week. As usual, it took me a bit to get up this morning, so I started late. So I took off for Front Royal to get on Skyline. Weather was really nice the ride out. I did know it was gonna be a bit cooler up in the mountains, and I didn't wanna wear my fleece, so I stopped off at K-Mart and picked up thermal to put under my shirt. Was a good idea (I do have those from time to time)... So I get up on Skyline, make my first stop to take some pics, and of course I don't have a memory card in the camera.. I did snap a pic with the phone...
Now I've been on Skyline enough to know I could pick up a memory card for the camera at Elkwallow Wayside, so rather than go back to Front Royal, I just figured I'd hold off on pics til I did the 20 miles to Wayside. Got there, picked up a 2 gig card, and rode up to Mary's Rock Tunnel and took a few pics.
From there I rode on and took a few pics from time to time.
Then I stopped off at Crescent Rock Overlook for a bit. Always a great place to just chill and relax.
Panorama on the cliff....
From there I rode to Big Meadow where I turned around and headed home.
I didn't wanna ride all the way back to Front Royal, so I dropped down 211 and rode into Sperryville. All total I rode about 210 miles. Not a bad day of riding. Like I said, woulda been nice to share it with someone, but such is life. I enjoyed myself and look forward to the next ride.
