Our outing club does not normally have scheduled Friday outings, but here we are heading to Virginia and the scenic New River Trail with a group of 6 for a nice bicycle ride. The proposed route is from Cliffview to Fries and back, about 31 miles. Weather is threatening but never rains. It is very mild but quite humid. I'm dripping wet by the end of the day.
The pace was fast. We went along at almost 12 mph for the ride over to Fries and only slightly for the return. Above, is the scene from our lunch stop along the river in Fries. It appears there is some construction occurring on the dam which can be seen in the background.
Tricky little mushroom here. I knew it could not be Cibarius due to the pine needles but it sure looked like it until I flipped it over. Could we have Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca here?
This is our final stop, by Chestnut Creek Falls before the final few miles back to Cliffview.
