Love riding through there! Great country road with very little traffic!! Great shot!
Yes, Sir... You are correct! I do hate that climb; although, I'm not sure it isn't worse from the other direction!!! LOL

I ride up Fishing Creek Valley fairly often as it is close to home. If you haven't done the climb up Robert's Valley Road (off of Front St. near the Rockville Bridge) I would highly encourage it... it too sucks! LOL

I did a 56 mile ride up through the Gap last weekend... we'll see what tomorrow holds in store... maybe a repeat if it stays dry! Message me if you ever want to coordinate a ride... always looking for people to ride with! I'm on STRAVA (http://app.strava.com/athletes/890031) if you want to see if we're close enough ability wise to make it worth your wild!!!
