The real races, those not held in corporate developments. Not that I have anything wrong with those (hey, I do well), but as my teammates James once said to me, "Those aren't the races I dream about at night."
So, I reserved this MABRA "off-weekend," well in advance to drag a few of the NCVC boys out to the Lost River Barn. A lot of miles to fatigue the legs lie ahead.
On the way out earlier this afternoon, I stopped by the Lost River Brewing Company in Wardensville, WV and picked up some growlers of tasty beverage. I highly recommend 'em. Rumor of the barn says their elixirs ease the pain of tired legs. (Take my word for it too, it's yummy.)
Today was solo. I rode at a nice, relaxed, jog of a pace down the easy side of the mountain (if there is one) to the Lost River Classic course and a fun loop on Dove Hollow and Whetzel Hollow roads. Dove Hollow used to be paved...
A good afternoon of nothing special, and since I did not have any teammates half-wheeling me today, I made a few stops to check out the scenery.
More pictures here. I'll be updating throughout the weekend.
How was your Thursday ride?

Rockin Thursday ride for me. 50 min threshold, steady followed by a Wakefield group ride. We can swap rain pictures of the training weekend. Should be a good time for all. Training in the rain is better than racing in the rain!
