You gotta love technology. Today, 5 brave Horsemen (Chris, Steve B., Shannon, Chip, and myself) set out for an "epic ride" to Weil Road, which is supposed to be a nasty hill way out past California and Point Pleasant. Unfortunately, the uploaded route on my GPS had too many waypoints so we were riding blind, trying to guess the route. We took a very wrong turn in Nicholsville (I'm sure you've all heard of that budding metropolis) and ended up on 222 so we just stuck with familiar roads at that point. We rode past East Fork, Covered Bridge, up Mt. Zion, and down Sugar Camp. Somewhere around 45+ miles the cramps started biting. We limped back for a while, with a feeble sprint attempt at the end of Roundbottom.
After thrashing me on Camargo, Chip and I ended up back at his house with 68.9 miles. That was a little too close to 70, so we rode a big circle to arrive at the magic number.
Great ride, hopefully more can make it next time we try this again.
