Day 7 (July 28, 2006)

Fairmont, WV to Mt. Vernon, OH

Started at 10:00 a.m. ended about 6:00 p.m.

Total miles = 221

As soon as I finished breakfast it started raining very hard so I headed back to the motel to wait it out. At 10:00 a.m. the rain slowed to a drizzle so I decided to head out. Not long after hitting the road, the light rain turned to a downpour and lasted for 3 hours. It was a little scary riding through the mountains of WV in the rain, but I eventually made it to Wheeling, WV about 1:00 p.m. The rain stopped there. I then continued on toward Mansfield, OH. I actually stopped in Mt. Vernon, OH, just south of Mansfield.
