stage 3 of the Trans Sylvania Epic
a seven day stage race that is happening this week
based out of the Seven Mountains Boy Scout Camp
45 miles in length
should we drive-mark-ride-mark
or ride it all?
the decision was made
we ride
we started after a very hearty breakfast at camp
9:30 am which in hindsight was too late
very warm and muggy started with atv worn singletrack
reminiscent of parts of 3 mile
finally got to fire road sections
then the climbing began
hit Coburn in the middle of the day
made a mistake of getting "turkey club"
sandwiches from some toothless people
running a little store
they were nice though
let us use their sign to
staple arrows to
with bellies too full
and heat too much
the ride got really hard
during the fisherman's path
went into the mental cave that you
have to talk yourself through
hit really huge climbs
and was rewarded on the
climb out of Poe Paddy SP
with an awesome view of Coburn
and surrounding valley
it was a great day
spent with my husband
i hope there are lots more

I may not be able to pedal (well, maybe just not able to hold the handlebars), but you could have let us know where the beer breaks were to be held along this ride!!!!
