Recap: Blackwater Canyon Gravel Loop

West Virginia
Written By Ray George

7 cyclists. 38 miles. 3400+ ft climbing. Climbed up to the ridge and dropped down through Little Canaan to Davis. Stopped into Blackwater Bikes for a quick repair. Rained while we were in the shop. Rode over to Thomas and met up with Adam who rode MTB trails through Blackwater SP. Stopped at various points on the Blackwater Canyon Trail. As we were finishing lunch a red fox walked up the road with his/her lunch in tow. It looked at us and headed into the underbrush. Climbed back up to the ridge on the Canaan Loop Road.
