PiSgAh DoUbLe DaRE dAy TwO BrIeFs...

Wow. day two sucked real bad in the begining. It took nearly 4000 feet of elevation change and 5 hours of total time to make the point of the race where they give you the passport to start looking at the other check points. Today i discovered that I still have a lot of work to do to transform myself into and all day all night rider and thats ok. I wish i could of had the leggs I had two weekends ago this weekend. You know me I will go back to the lab and figure out what happened. Regardless, we did not come in last. We finished the race with 7.5 check points at 430 something on sunday. I was a little delirious with my stats yesterday, but we figure we covered 103 miles over the two days with about 12 to 13 hours of actual ride time. We were out there a total of about twenty actual hours. This is the brief so I will leave it at that, more to come and a full write up in the next couple of days.
Laters,
LOS

Back to back mountain bike ride (with real elvation) is not an easy task but glad you survived.

100 miles of pisgah make any other 100 miles of anything look tiny... Nice showing...

oh how do you get only half a checkpoint? I like the nature of this type of race now that I am reading more about it. Hmmm

Sweet! 7.5cps! looks like my team beat someone then.. (with 8) Since Eric has yet to post any "loosing winners" I hope you got your half a check point by shotgunning 3 beers.. we should have done that.

Hope you had fun out there!
Thanks for checkin' out my post and nice riding!
