I'm sorry truckstop.
An hour on the trainer today. |
Got out of the metro Knoxville bubble for a change and had cycling escapades in Blount County.
An quiet, early morning 23-mile jaunt along the Little River. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...-tennessee.jpg [File photo] Then, in the late afternoon, a 27-mile ride up to Cades Cove. http://www.jacksonmountainhomes.com/...ng-sunrise.jpg [File photo] Unfortunately, I did not have time to ride around the cover--just climbed up there and turned around. First time I've done a multi-mile climb in a year, probably. I could tell. Interestingly, there's way less traffic on January afternoon than there is in the summer. Except I did have a couple cars coming after me right when I reached the small tunnel. I was nervous the lead might hit me because it was moving and there wasn't a lot of light [late afternoon]. Then, when I exited the tunnel, the rocky face along the road shot this chunk of glare ice just a few feet in front of me. Couple seconds later and it could have been disaster. I also saw a deer along the road. No tracking necessary. Good day of riding, except for the balaclava. Much more peaceful than West Knox at 5 p.m. |
Meanwhile, things are about to get real. #Antarctica

You can say umd.
He was taken off the verboten list after he broke his back in a cycling accident. So, it doesnt take an act of God to change the list, but the price is pretty high none the less.... |

In other loss news, I lost my imported Canadian balaclava today. Had it in my jacket back pocket, but not securely enough, apparently. Must have blown out while flapping around.
That blows. |

nice to see the ride report from the velo vol. beautiful area you ride in.
Let's all try do some pictures of out rides this year. |
it is 3 degrees here. No that is not a typo. The wind chill is -13. That is Fahrenheit for all you foreigners. If I wanted to live someplace this cold, I'd still live in Colorado. Holy crapola.
