June 29 New River Trail - Cliffview to Fries and back


Today's bicycle ride was a bit under 30 miles, beginning at New River Trail State Park headquarters at Cliffview. Beginning here eliminates the 2 mile ride into Galax which some folks don't find as enjoyable. 

Above is a non-native flower, Everlasting Peas. Below is the New River on the ride into Fries. AT this point is has a scenic pastoral look but just downriver it gives way to a wilder forested  look.
