teresa, that's amazing! Good job! <mentally crossing Dahlonega or anything in North Georgia off the list for many months to come!> I know I couldn't do a 10 mile incline at this point.

As far as the Trek event, I didn't even know about it until fastdogs and uforgot told us about the St. Louis one (my home town). Lo and behold, I checked on it and found that my own LBS was sponsoring one here in the Charlotte area. Would you really have driven there from Burlington??? It doesn't seem that close. We'll all have to remember to ride in next year's event.

By the way, your bike is GORGEOUS and the flowers are to die for!
