Noch Ein Berg German for "Another hill...(and another...and another...) This ride ties
together as many hills as I could find to make a tough loop that combines parts
of Wake, Chatham, Lee, and Harnett counties. The distance will challenge your
endurance, but the hills will challenge your force development to improve
climbing. Few sections are flat. The idea is to work the hills hard, regroup at
the top, recover, do it again. A high overall average pace is not
the goal, but it won't be a cruise, either. Need to prepare for a
mountain century but don't have the time to drive to Hanging Rock? This might be
the ride for you. (We'll do the 3-mountain ride later.) Call Kevin if you have
questions. RAIN CANCELS RIDE.
After the ride, SWAP MEET: Pull out an old blanket
and spread out all of those unwanted bike parts/clothes that are
cluttering up your closet. Forget Ebay, let's do it the old-fashioned
way. I've got a compact crank, some saddles, etc. in a box. I'm sure you
do, too. Let's deal!
