Well Snake Creek Gap Time Trial #2 was totally different from the first, but no less awesome. To start off, the weather was clear and beautiful and about 60 degrees. Quite the far cry from the 12 degree weather Asheville experienced the previous week. My body doesn't do well with these extreme weather changes, so I'll leave photos of myself out of this post...
Except for one. This photo taken by Jason Burnette is the author and David Eifert at the start. That's Rhonda and Jubal Janes taking photos on the left. David raced the men 60 and over class on his single speed and kicked some major butt! He took about an hour and 21 minutes off of his January time, I was very impressed. I took 20 minutes off of my time. I also had a really cool person to chat with at the beginning of and after the race. I met a lot of cool people again at this race, which is always my goal. I love racing, because I get to meet lots of people with very different backgrounds who love to ride bikes. Some have been riding for years and have been many places on wicked long rides and some are just starting out and have been very few places. We all have bikes in common. Bike Love! Until next time...
