Snowy Times

Singlespeeds-walk early and walk often



Ok, so its been awhile. I’ve been at Camden-on-gauley, wv for the past month. Its been great, and the month has flown by.
Quick recap of December. Spent a lot of time working. The rest of the time was spent balancing riding and chores around home. It was great to have the month off school, but in a way it kinda felt like just another rotation month too.
Ok now to January. I’ve been down here outside of Summersville. There are a lot of great places and things to do in the area. The only problem is that I gotta work till 5 then its dark. Been riding my trainer at least 2 times a week while im down here. I have also been getting out to ride on the weekends. I went out with jon, chris, and a few guys from the Fairmont bike club a couple weeks ago. Went up to coops for a few hour ride. Last weekend I got some new part in for my bike, thanks to the gracious sponsors of the cycling club. I finally got a set of disc brakes. Went out to valley falls last Sunday and slugged around in like 5 inches of snow. This past weekend I had to work on Saturday, then went out to dinner with amber and the fam since it was my birthday. Sunday I went on a ride with chuck to waters smith state park. There is some awesome riding there, I just always seem to forget about it. I just can’t wait for longer days to ride more.
Got 3 and ½ days this week down here then back to Fairmont to work on Friday. Hopefully on Thursday afternoon I can get out and check out the area before I leave, possibly fish or do some riding or both.
