First pic is from my road bike ride on Sunday. I had my best time yet on the 30+ mile loop from home. I finished in under 2 hours and managed not to get rained on.
Thursday I left Glen Alpine at 4:50 and the temperature was 95 degrees. I started my ride at 5:30 and it was 78 degrees near Jonas Ridge. Got to love the high elevation rides in the middle of the summer. I did Headquarters Mountain and added an out and back to some cliffs for some stellar views of Grandfather Mountain area. I got back to the van at 8:10. Great after work ride!
