Naked and Weather

Longest and probably hardest ride ever yesterday, but I felt good.  Life is strange.  I think it's because I started off slow, and ate a LOT.

So, 91 miles from Middleburg VA, plus Mt. Weather, plus Naked mountain and then another 42 miles to the end.

So, that's Mount Weather at mile 20, and that's Naked mountain at 45.  And while Mt. Weather is a beast, Naked Mountain is steep, and to be honest, it's actually harder.  Or maybe it's that it came second today...

Here's the gang I rode with at the top of Naked mountain - actually there's one more hill to the top, but this is the top of the part that makes you want to pick up your bike and throw it in the woods. For reference please see my teammate's video from a few years ago, the "good part" starts at 1:30 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2VdILSLfqw. 

So that's the longest ride of the season, Moab in 2 weeks. Wow.

Go Team!
