RIDES:
GRUNDY, VA

One fine day our group decided to ride to Grundy Va. Well, actually were were going to ride to Wise, Va. and spend the night. Due to a late start and some unforeseen scooter problems which caused a side trip to Bluefield, West Virginia, we wound up in Grundy. Grundy is located in Buchanan County Va. In the middle of coal country. The town of Grundy is slated to be moved by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers due to it's tendency to flood.  It's located right on a small river in the bottom of what's called a holler. When it rains a lot the small river turns into a large angry river.

Even though Grundy wasn't where we had planned to be on this particular evening, it's where we found ourselves. So, we found a hotel, a nice new one that had only been open a few weeks, and we found a place to eat and wound up having a good time and a good ride.

Here's some shots of the Grundy ride.

We went the long way, up US 52 and back down Routes 16 and 83.

The girls, who have been passengers are wanting to try out the bikes for themselves.

 A good portion of a mountain was moved to make way for the hotel and parking lot.

 
On our way back home the next day we took some back roads into some hollers.
We stopped at an old abandoned mine.
