The ride got painfully slow when the serious climbing started. But I didn't have to stop or walk any of it. That included the super steep sections of the Snickersville Turnpike and Blue Ridge... read more

Watched TV while peddling. Found a program on the History Channel about grease to be most fascinating. I plan to grease up the Specialized real good on Friday.

great Winchester - White Post 50 mi 03:23 14.8mph pace
Took scenic, extra hilly routes to and from the group ride in White Post. On the 17 - mile White Post Loop, I set a PR for average speed, 16 mph - a mile an hour faster than I did it last Spring.

Tried out my new 11-32 cassette. The experience was a real disappointment. I paired it with a 30/39/52 triple. I was so slow with this set up. Also, I think I'm more used to the geometry on my... read more

I was plumb tuckered out at the end. That's a good thing, I reckon.

Drizzly and cold but kind of nice. Loved breathing in the damp air. A long warm-up period brought average down.

Finally made it all the way down Indian Hollow. Low water bridge was flooded on my last attempt. Then I went on to Shawnee Land. Enjoyed the hills. Remembered that now so long ago they were a bit o... read more

Rode to a group ride, rode with people, ate food with them and rode home. Had a 14.5 average after 40. The last 25 miles was into the wind and with a full stomach. I wasn't trying that hard. W... read more

Kind of felt listless today until I drank a couple of beers late in the afternoon. Damn if I didn't feel better. Took off on the touring rig and took in some climbing and wicked descents. Got ... read more

Picked a super hilly route close to home and cracked a 14 mph average. I had been riding 12s on this type of terrain a couple of weeks ago. I'm rather encouraged by my progress I must say.

I 've been up to the FEMA complex on Mt Weather years ago but after reading your post I had to Google it. Wow the peak is almost 1700 ft and I didn't know about the plane crash of 1974.
