Great riding. 48.9 MPH for Max speed-didn't realize there were some long fast descents like that in NC!

I visited my daughter in Boone. My wife dropped me off at the BRP and Hwy 421 and I did something similar around that area. I'm glad I tossed in my light rain jacket at the last minute. It started raining as soon as I started riding and was pretty cool. Wet roads most of the day but not much rain after starting. Since it was Cinco de Mayo my recovery meal was Mexican + margaritas.......

Know anything about the route on the Asheville ride Saturday that uses the Ox Creek climb? Indicates about 7000 ft of climbing over 105 miles.
