Six Rides in Eight Days

291 Miles

30,282 ft/9,200 m elevation gain

Week long challenges always seem to end a bit anticlimactic. With less than 200 meters to climb to meet the challenge, the motivation to ride no longer came from the challenge but instead the need to spin the waste out of my legs left behind from yesterday’s ride.

So the wine route it is.

Renate and I drove out to enjoy some excellent southern BBQ before returning to the cabin to pack up for the road trip home to Miami.

Southern boys know how to smoke their meat.

It was great to see my fitness improve over the course of the week. The trick will be keeping the momentum going as I prepare to return to GA for the Six Gap Century.
