Although we had planned on going to the WUSS Liberty Jamboree on Saturday, a ceiling leak, courtesy of our upstairs neighbor, kept us home too late to get to the start on time. So, instead, we decided we’d head out to Elizabeth Furnace for something more challenging than the local stuff we always ride. I hadn’t been to Elizabeth Furnace in years; and, then, only once, so I didn’t really remember what to expect. I did recall the climb to Signal Knob being pretty steep and loose, but ridable. What I didn’t remember was how UN-ridable parts of the Green Mountain climb (and descent) are. Almost the entire climb is rock-strewn, so Lewis and I ended up pushing through much of it. Overall though, the ride was great, and we capped it off with margaritas and quesadillas at FGIFridays in Front Royal afterward. Yum!
