Popular Post Parr8hed Posted February 18, 2019 Popular Post Share #1 Posted February 18, 2019 Saturday was the big ride day. 95 miles. 3 States (Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee). 2 mountains (Suck Creek and Sand). Over 6,000 ft of climbing. Griffin did about 85 miles. He didn't do the big descent because he was skeered. And at about the mid point he hopped in the truck for a few miles to eat and "rest his butt". He hopped back on at the next stop. About 10 miles left he was suffering but would NOT come off the bike. He was easily the youngest and smallest there. At least 4 of the riders there are going to ride for collegiate teams next year. 2 on scholarship. G ate it up talking to them. Pretty amazing weekend. Weather was mid 50's and cloudy. I drove SAG and cooked breakfast. 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerrySTL ★ Posted February 18, 2019 Share #3 Posted February 18, 2019 Was that a metal grate surface on the bridge? It sorta looks like one but maybe filled in? Those things can be slippery and falling on one would be like going through a cheese grater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
