Ansted/Gauley River Ride 9-4-10

Here are a some pictures of our ride to Ansted/Gauley River. We started at 9am in Sanderson and got back to the trucks at 11pm. Ride was about 125-130 miles depending on which sxs dash you go by. We got to ride thru two train tunnels, one was across from Peters Creek and the other was at Carnifex Ferry. The Peters Creek tunnel was about 3/4 of an mile long and the Carnifex Tunnel was shorter, but was in a turn so you could not see the end of the tunnel. Also, we finally got to see the New River Gorge Bridge better due to clear skies. I have a video of driving thru the tunnel and will try to post it.

nice pics.

Breath taking

Thanks Guys. It is located in Ansted, WV the second tunnel is about 3 miles from Summersville Dam the 1st is close to Swiss, WV.

Nice place to ride. I rode Mountain Bikes there about 8 years ago.

Yeah Big-R the tunnels and railroad are no longer used. The Gauley River Park has it now. They even have signs that says your stimulus money at work.
