Day One - Adventure on the Greenbrier River Trail Bike Trek


I certainly learned to appreciate the Mile Markers which start at 80 in Pocahontas County, West Virginia and end at 1 in Greenbrier County West Virginia.

Day One - I made the first section of the Trek. I fell into the patch of poison ivy. Usually the first word that comes out of my mouth in situations like that is the "F" Word.

Some folks do something called LeapFrogging on the Trail. They ride the bike for a section of the trek and climb into the "wussmobile" for the next section.

When I reached the Rest Stop - it was strongly suggested that I take the WussMobile.

The Driver was a Lawyer from Clarksville who had special permission to drive on the trail. It was an awesome way to see the trail. LOL!

When I got off to get back on the bike, my hamstrings started immediately cramping so it was back into to the WussMobile I went.

When we made it back to the Motel, I was in major league pain. Dang! I thought - I will NEVER make it back on that trail. I took some Leg Cramp Medication, climbed in the Jacuzzi, and went to bed early.

I did much better on the trail the next day.

Luckily there was an ambulance right behind me with the antidote to the poison ivy. There was no major damage but it did give me a scare.
