NealH left his Tarmac SL3 at the LBS for some adjustments and asked that I pick it up and hold it until he came back to town. Sure! No problem! But I wasn't going to pick it up without making sure it rode ok after being worked on. So it was off to the BRP for a quick ride up Waterrock Knob, a 8.7 mile climb with 2450' of elevation gain. The bike is a rocket but I somehow manage to make it rather ordinary when I ride it. lol

Beautiful day, breezy, in the upper 60s at the gap and upper 50s on top. Perfect climbing weather.

Here's Neal's bike looking proud of itself at the top of the climb.
