The surface was beautiful. They finished repaving the section I rode on since the last time I rode it. It was cooler than I expected. I kept my arm warmers on for most of the ride. For a little spice I rode off the park down into Stanardsville. That climb back up was harder than I expected. I can tell I haven't been doing much real climbing lately.

Jim nice ride. I am taking off the 10th 11th an 12th next week and was thinking of going there to ride one of those days, more than likely the 11th.
I may shadow this ride and see how I do compared to you.( I know slower but hey it's all fun)
