6 cyclists. 30 miles. 2300+ feet of climbing. Climbed out of Canaan Valley up to Canaan Loop Road. Stopped and hiked at the Table Rock overlook and the waterfall at the Lodge. Streams were lower than in the past. Puddles took out one of us. Lunch stop at deli in Davis and Blackwater Bikes. Headed out of town on gravel into Little Canaan and climbed the ridge on double track. Sunny for most of the day with a spotty shower.
