We rode to the top of Mt. McKinley today. We started out in Marion, NC and it was 59 deg. At the summit it was 45 deg and windy. Most of us were not adequately clothed for that. Luckily we had some extra stuff in the sag to make the descent tolerable. The Blue Ridge Parkway was a nice ride up and down. The road up to the summit was sweet. Melcher was pushing the pace all day and that made the ride even more enjoyable. I rode to the top of the overlook and I would like to call that 6700 ft. There's even some guy buried up there. I forgot to read his story. The descent was nice. Hwy 80 was a blast. Lots of turns and we all kept all of our skin. Finished up and ate at a little "Italian" joint on the outskirts of Marion. All in all a good day.
But how many hot dogs did you burn?
ReplyDeleteIf you rode to the top of Mt McKinley you would not be home yet. Looks like you rode to the top of Mount Mitchell from what the sign says.
ReplyDeleteThree concerns:
ReplyDelete1) What does "Bury the Cat" mean? Perhaps I'm just dumb or it has some X rated meaning?
2) Mt. McKinley?
3) I was looking for some top secret Krayer training secrets. Perhaps 3 x 60 min LT efforts with 1 min rest betw?
And, thanks for the great ride up Mt. Mitchell!
