5-19-07 Ride Details
Riders,
Once again, this Saturday a group of riders will meet at the parking lot of New Spring for some miles. Please note there is an organized ride that starts in Walhalla. It's the classic Issaqueena's Last Ride. Out of our group of usual riders, Bob, Ryan and Florida Bill will conquer the challenging, mountain ride. It's described by active.com as "cumulative elevation gain of about 8500 feet highlighted with the climb toward Whitewater Falls and Wigington Overlook. The metric is shorter but includes the major climbs. The 35 mile is hilly but does not go into the mountains. Please know your strength and do not over-reach." Just speaking for myself, I'll have NONE of that!!!
Also, this weekend Griz will compete in a tri-event in Rock Hill. If my information is correct, Fred will be in Florida doing a 1/2 Ironman.... Russ will be in Georgia taming the "Beast of the East" 1/2 IronMan... Bossman Bob will be in NC for the Fletcher Flyer on Sunday... riding with his brother...
As for me, I'll meet the REST OF US for an 8AM departure from the usual starting place.... we'll observe the neutral zone until Timms Mill... then, settle into differing groups... Some folks will go for many miles... others will stick with the 43 mile loop... whatever your pleasure and training goals might be.
There is a rumor that Whaley is riding.... this is only a rumor... and if it does come true, I think the cosmos is out-of-whack... why not come witness what could be a cataclysmic event?
Of note, there are two more local rides that are posted on active.com. The Challenge of the Centuries in Hartwell, Ga for Memorial Day Weekend... and the Safe Harbor Ride in Iva, SC on June 2... the Iva ride is one you don't want to miss!!!
I do believe it's your turn at the front...
maybe some of the "away" riders will post a ride report? this is your blog too!!
