Today I rode the metric 62 miles at the Hilly Helalcious starting in Fletcher, NC. Great day for a ride with a cool start and light overcast. I started in arm and knee warmers with a vest and took the vest off after 30 miles. My ride time was just under 4 hours/ 4:15 total time with 5500' of climbing. I always forget about the steep pitches on this ride but they were all manageable and the scenery was great. So was the food after the ride.
