With my wife travelling to Tennessee to visit her brother, I had four days to spend however I chose. The destination for a single-overnight trip would be Stokesville Campground on the edge of the George Washington National Forest.
My dog Ruprecht and I headed west on a beautiful Thursday morning, catching the first blooms of the trees lining 64 West.
By midday, we had reached our campsite and I began setting up the tent and awning.
Around 2pm I chose my route, a modified circuit pulled from the Stokesville 60k route on mtbProject.
The ride was phenomenal, with long climbs on gravel roads followed by blistering descents on singletrack. After roughly 25 miles on the saddle, I was reunited with the old boy.
That night, I made a fire and heated a smoked sausage to share with my grateful companion!
