I guess I may as well log some of my rides here:
Last
Saturday Caleb and I decided to ride the 2011 PMBAR course for a
training ride. It was an epic day on the bike and other than a bad
chamois choice, things went pretty well. We got a bit of a late start
and bailed kinda early to go eat some Hot Dog World. I guess we rode a
swankBAR or something. By the way I hate and love Bradley Creek all at
the same time, but mostly hate:
Black
Mtn>Buckhorn Gap>S. Mills River>Squirrel (checkpoint
#1)>Cantrell>S. Mills>Bradley Creek (checkpoint
#2)>5015>Yellow gap (bailed on the Trace ridge
checkpoint)>Laurel>Pilot (checkpoint #3)>1206>476>S.
Mills>Buckhorn Gap>Clawhammer (bailed on the Black finish). 9:45
and change. So, I definitely think we can pick up 4 cp's in 14 hours.
Last
night I made myself get on the bike after eating a bacon cheeseburger,
fries, and a pint. Got home about 12:15. I took the SS cross bike out
to Mills River for the second time ever. I just assumed I couldn't push
it's gear on gravel but it turns out its not that bad! Rode from the
house up to yellow gap:
