Mountwood Park, West Virginia

I started the biking trip with a LONG drive from Michigan to West Virginia.
Woke up the next morning at headed over to Mountwood Park to start to see how out of shape I was.
When I arrived at the Park Main Office, I was told there were no trail maps available - and they really needed to send out to get more copies made.  FORTUNATELY, I did some pre-work and printed off a map I found online (Thank You, River Valley Mountain Bike Association!!!!).  The map I printed out was much smaller than the one that should have been available at the Park - but it was certainly better than not having anything (thank you work printer!  ;)  )

Here is the trail map from online:



I started out at the main parking area on Volcano Road.

Unloaded the bike.
And set up the solar shower.
I mounted my bike (that sounds dirty), headed out of the parking lot, crossed Volcano Road and jumped onto Copperhead Trail.

Here are pictures from the trail....







The trails are well marked at each of the intersections.


A final trail shot with the bike in the foreground:
Mountainwood Park has a Submariner's Memorial located at one of the park entrances, along with a FREE shooting range for locals.
A good start to the trip, with great weather.
