Hi Bat! Speaking of climbing - have you ever climbed up Rt. 56 to the Tye River Gap? We did that last Saturday.....what a relentless monster that is! I had to bury my head and just grind it out in my granny gear....yeesh.

I haven't done Thunder Ridge, but I have a feeling it is not a lot different from that. Maybe steeper. So I imagine you could do it! I could never get into a rhythm Saturday because the grade kept changing...we climbed 4600 ft. in about 26 miles..."When I'm on my bike I forget about things like age. I just have fun." Kathy Sessler

Thanks!
Thanks, everyone. I'm not so much worried about keeping up...I have gotten pretty good at riding my own rides. Sleep is just not happening this week, but you are all right...I can eat well and get into a better mental space. I appreciate your support. Thanks again!
