I’m heading to West By God Virginia tomorrow to ride GRUSK, the Gravel ride up Spruce Knob. Anyone else going?

Just saw your reply.  
It was warmish, even for that elevation. I rode the Medio 54. The Grassy Downhill and the 8-Mile Smile were glorious. But, at about mile 40, I jinxed myself with the thought “A tiny sprinkle would really be welcome right now.” And I wound up riding that final massive hill in a full-on downpour. Thanks for asking.
