Haven't been posting as I have no Internet here in the Mtns (by design), but between chores, rain, more problems with the Giant, and a trip to see my parents, not quite as much riding here in the hills as I would have liked.
I logged in about 130 miles since Sunday, mostly on two killer rides Monday and yesterday. If one looks for trouble here (i.e., hills), you don't have to look far at all. Berry Hollow is by far the most difficult hill I have found, and I've managed four trips up and back.
Snapped a spoke yesterday - never had that happen before, but I think it may have been overtightened during a recent repair.
I signed up for the Rappahannock Rough Ride on September 16th. 60 miles of hills in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mtns!
