S.B.T.C. Day 3: Popping the rookie’s cherries


As a quick side note, the town of Helen is a Bavarian tourist trap that would make the Dolpinator feel as if he was right at home in the sweet motherland and blend in like camouflage; lederhosen, hofbrau haus, sausage, the whole bit.



After an hour of monkeying around with the ill-prepared mountain bike gang, consisting of Scott Hes and Mike Campbell, and trying to make their poorly maintained dilapidated rigs road-worthy we were finally off and rolling at 1:00pm. We rolled a respectable 75 miles and 8600 feet of climbing but took it pretty easy for the most part, mainly focusing on familiarizing the rookies with the routes.

The weather hit a high of about sixty and was pleasantly comfortable on the climbs.

As the sun set we headed out to the nearest steakhouse and cheered to a successful day of riding.

I am starting to feel like I am coming down with a severe cold and fear that it could interfere with my riding…we’ll hope for the best.
