Amazing ride today. Nearly 100 miles 6 hrs, 8,060ft of climbing and some serious pain for the legs.
The main challenge was the legendary climb of Ceasars Head. One of Hincapies favorites I hear at 6.5 miles and 2200 vertical it is a nasty as it is sweet. Like those fireball candies I suppose.
Well in line with our theme this week of chasing carrots, we managed the grand loop as fast as ever (6 hours). We also chased the record on Ceasars Head despite our tired legs for our fourth day of hammering in a row. My Cannondale Super 6 helped make up for my lack of snap, I rocked up the climb, Jeff set an evil pace that made me wince. Knarly...
Very close around 29 mins! Nice, after toping out we realized there was still alot of snow up there at 3000+ft.
To our surprise we ran into photographer Jeff Zimmerman on Glady fork road. He took a few awesome shots of us climbing Sassafras.
Can you say STEEP!
After battling on the bike Jeff and I stopped to take in the awesome view. And enjoy making it over the final monster climb.
Riding thru the warm foot hills thousands of feet below was a treat as were the fajita's and negro modelo at Panchos!
A good day!
