Missed Ride.... however...

Tomorrow may be another day... until then since Em did not get to "dance up" 178 and Sassafras, I thought I would post this about Neil Turners "insanely steep climbs" ride so you can think about what you are missing.. Oh and Becky's Mtn I can attest it is one steep *%&^((^ er of a climb....


"we began just north of Pickens, SC at the intersection of 11 and 176.  We hardly had time to warm up before the climb up past Bob's began.  We rode up Hwy 178 to Rocky Bottom...... The real climbing was about to start, most cyclists opt to continue on to Rosman avoiding  Sassafras........When I hit the mountain I understood.... To put it plainly, Sassafras Mountain is a beast of a climb"....click here to keep reading.. Insanely Steep Climbs

Oh and look forward to Bird's Verticle Ride coming soon.......

A beautiful ride in the mountains today. Em and I rode Howard's Gap last weekend - so sassafrass was on her radar today - needless to say my @ss did not see much of sassafras - when I saw my teammates hit the first steep pitch - I did what any sane person would do - go back and wait!!!! Beautiful ride today! Howard and Becky are a done deal - so I guess I have a date with Sassafras later this year......you know who I am going to calling to go with me.....E and B........
