Mid-summer in Georgia
Summertime in Georgia means getting to the mountains as much as possible to mountain bike. Creek crossings, shade, and the daily thunderstorm all help to make you forget it's 90-some degrees outside. 4-hour mountain bike rides in the mountains have been the norm lately. Exploring some new stuff with Eddie in his preparation for the Trans-North-Georgia race and riding some old stuff like Stanley Gap, Green Mountain, Tibbs, Unicoi that I haven't ridden in awhile. I think I have done more climbing in the last 3 weeks than I have all year combined! At least, that's how my legs feel right now. With the Offroad Assault on Mount Mitchell (ORAMM) approaching quickly, I am going to try to get some rest this week. It's hard to believe that this race season started on January 2 with the Snake Creek Gap Time Trials! My original plan was to taper off on the mountain bike racing after ORAMM in favor of training for a late fall marathon. But, the mountain bike race season never ends around here and there are so many races tempting me. Yep, I've signed up for the 100 again. I couldn't resist..I had so much fun doing it last year. This time, though, I'll be racing my Rotwild R.R2 full suspension bike. There's also a new 40 & 80 mile race called the Assault on Brushy Mountain that will take place just 30 minutes from our house in October so that one is a must-do, also. I have no idea what the course will be like but I am definitely going to check it out.
