All the big teams do it, so why shouldn’t we? Namrita and I are heading to the mountains near Dahlonega, GA on Friday for a long weekend of riding. The weather down here is great right now…..mid 60s during the day. We’ll crash at a friend’s house, bring the dogs up and get lots of [...]

Sunday’s Adventure

Monday, February 12th, 2007

Namrita and I arrived at the Snake Creek Gap parking lot just before 3 PM. If I really pushed it I could make the radio tower 17 miles away and then back before dark. We dressed heavy, but not heavy enough. It was about 40 or so and dropping. The first climb starts at the [...]

Elagarto
