...is a rather steep climb, I found out today. Not very long, but steep! We did it at the end of a three hour training ride and I must confess it hurt. It was all worth it once I got to the top, though: great view, bragging rights and a killer decent! The riding here is superb anyways. The landscape reminds me of a mixture of the Black Forest and the Alps back home in Europe but it definitely beats the weather over there ;-) The only drawback around here riding wise is the fact that there are no flat roads around here and the guys that built the roads never heard about the brand-new invention of “switch backs”, so the roads usually go straight up the hills… just how steep they can get may be deducted from this picture, showing Shannon cresting one of the aforementioned not-so-flat-roads.
After the race last weekend, Nathan, Shannon, Carli and I drove up to Blue Ridge, Georgia. We are staying in a gorgeous log cabin, with a three mile dirt road climb as only way to get to it. It is just awesome up here. Unfortunately, we’ll have to leave tomorrow to drive to
