have you ever ridden a bike in south florida? when the group told me the rest of the ride would be flat, i was expecting _______________ that. what i got was more rollers. a 5 foot bump in the road is difficult for me, and today I just jumped in with a group that wanted to hammer it all and I am no where near ready for that. It's in the country around kannopolis too, not in the actual city of charlotte. It's no mountain, but it feels like it to me. Maybe if I had a few more months of this I could start telling stories like some of our other, younger, more enthusiastic members. ::cough:: razor::cough,cough::

and damn my massive quads for snapping that chain. I think the chain just wigged out from the constant strain of actual elevation change.
