jealeous for sure!
Here's one of the notorious climbing rides from the SC side
Brutal 120
>From Marrietta, SC
take 288 to Hwy 11
Then the climb
UP 178 to Rosman
then UP 215 to the Parkway
North on the parkway, still climbing toward Pisgah
then the fun part
DOWN 276 South to Brevard
Feeling strong, take the left on Cascade and do DuPont
before continuing UP the NC side of Ceasar's Head for the final sting
then down to 11 to 288 back to Marrietta
It's an Epic ride.

Caesar’s Head is a great climb. Hopefully, you’ll get to descend Highway 178
and maybe climb Walnut Hollow on the way to SC. All are very cool roads with
fun descents and plenty of climbing.

Sounds really cool, Steven. Any idea what roads you were on? Did you get up
to the Blue Ridge Parkway?

Hit speeds up to 46 and cornering lasted 15 min or more. Did three of these. It
was a major rush. The most fun I've ever had on a bike. Did the climb that
lasted over an hr. 2100 feet. We had 30 miles of climbing before this big
climb. I worked in the power zone upper EM and tempo and some SS and felt great
going up. For the first time I feel like I can do BSG. IF and only if I work in
the zones that I learned about this week. It's been a great experience.
Tomorrow will be a lot of the same. Oh today was 65 miles and 6000 feet of
climbing and for the first time I was tired at the end but could have kept
going if needed. Was ready for some food.

I'm really not sure. We did two time trails this morning up a mountain and
descending drills this afternoon. They really push the speed up on these drill
going down hill and cornering. Oh yesterday in a lab doing LT test. Took blood
every 3 min. What fun. Tomorrow we will be on the bikes for 6 hours and one of
the climbs will take over an hour. Will hit blue ridge park way tomorrow. We
have had a lot of class room time too. I have learned so much already. This
group is very professional. Most of the coaches hold national championships and
have been there done that. Will be riding down into SC sat. Another 6 hours on
the bike. Something like 14000 feet of climbing I understand. I don't know its
a lot.
Bob I will know roads and Mt better tomorrow. We have been getting training
zones today.
I'm so glad I came. Having a great time. Yes I'm tired. Getting recovery food.

Good morning! I guess Tim is going to hang up the bike for several days after
all; vacation with the wife. The nerve! :).
I'm riding 85 next Tuesday (weather permitting). Would love company if anyone
would care to join me. Willing to loop. Kp
