Default First time

I am so pumped about making the trip up.

I am making the making the final preparations to my ride, and I am looking forward to the hitting some of those beautiful roads. I lucked out because the area around western N.C. is one of the prettiest in in the country.

I look forward to seeing you all.

Have fun. Don't over drive your abilities. Leave the traction control on for your first time.

Polar makes a great drink bottle. After much trial, I have decided the the Polar brand, when used in Profile Design carbon bottle holder, is the best way to drink Tequila and ride. I will admit that it is a little hard to get the lime to balance on the top of the aerobars, but it can be done with practice and patience. And as for the salt...well you take salt tablets anyway...so what's the difference.
