I spent a couple of hours riding the loop in Cades Cover today. Did three laps while stopping to take many photo’s. Rode with a backpack with the camera body and a few lenses and some shoes to go off road if needed. I never really tracked the elevation gain for that 11 mile loop

August Blue Streak Time Trial

The temperature in Dayton this past Wednesday was in the low 70’s with a wind from the north east. Didn’t feel like a fast evening but I was able to post my fastest time on that course this year with a 21:38 or 27.73 mph average. Glad to get a good time after the last
