Sonja pretty much summed up our ride over here.
Before we hit the snow covered roads we took the dogs for a short hike.
Azucar is extremely athletic...
... and crazy for the fetch. (However, Maya seems to be the Alpha of the bunch.)
For our ride we did a loop that consisted of going from the Barn out Shenandoah Mountain Road to Branch Mountain Road, down to Bergton, then back up to the Barn via Crab Run, Jenkins Hollow, and Howard's Lick.
This snow plow driver was the only other person we saw on the road until we hit Bergton.
Most of the roads up high were covered in snow. I was glad to be on my cross bike and the Challenge Fango clinchers worked surprisingly well in these conditions.
Sonja won this state line sprint.
Tomorrow we hope to ride Old 55 on the road bikes. We'll see how this snow clears up overnight.

You guys are starting to look like the Alaskan snow cyclist (I follow her blog - it's pretty cool - check it out sometime on my blog)! Have a great time, and you did the right thing getting out of the city!!!
Nice ..I have not been on that road into Virginia. Doing it in the snow is epic. Yeah I knew there was a reason to get a cross bike ..I am glad I did.
