West Virginia Mountain Momma
Country Roads, Take Me Hooooooome
To the place, I belooooooooooooooong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Country roads, take me home.
This song has been ringing through my head for several days now, since I started out my summer vacation this week with a trip to the mountains of West Virginia. This yellow barn (used to house pigs) was converted into living quarters a few years back, and is now a popular escape for DC cyclists. My team came here a couple months ago for a quick training camp, and I've been itching to return ever since. So I was stoked when I found out that I could squander away my first week of summer break with some friends who are even more obsessed with cycling than I am. I loved every minute of it! The barn is at the peak of the mountain, so every ride starts with a fast, fun descent and ends w
ith a killer climb back to the top.

What a cool place to stay! Sounds like an ideal get away for you - it's obvious you had a fabulous time. Is the barn haunted by dead pigs from yesteryear? That would be scary unless you woke up to the smell of ghost bacon. Mmmmm, ghost bacon.
