All told, Sunday was an excellent riding day.

Congratulations, Kevan! Now all you gotta do is repeat that 22 times
in 24 days and we'll start calling you Lance. ;-)

Isn't that an amazing perspective on Le Tour? Two weeks ago a friend and I
rode 113 miles from Anderson, SC to the top of Caesar's Head (a legendary
local climb ... 6.5 miles at an average of 7%) and back. We took in a
smaller mountain going up and back. The back side of that smaller mountain
on the return trip was incredible. It had a section of about 1/3 mile that
was 16%. Hitting that at 75 miles with several thousand feet of climbing
already in the legs was murder. Like Kevan said, all kinds of stuff that
usually doesn't get sore was sore after that. And all I could keep thinking
towards the end was, that would have been only a moderate tour stage.

Hey Kevan ... great job. You're gonna feel unbeatable on the bike over the
next couple of days.

Pet peeve: Why are most big organized rides on a Saturday? I WANT
SUNDAYS!

To give people a chance to recover before going back to work on Monday?

yea, but why waste a valuable sunday in recovery when you can multi-task the
down-time of monday at work?

They are? Around here they always do Sundays, whereas I'd prefer

Saturdays.

Perhaps we could swap homes?

Sure thing! I'll move my stuff in next week.

Heh. This place is packed to the gills already. Lotsa luck.

I know Ceasar's Head well! It's not the Sierras, of course, but grueling
none the less! What's the name of the mountain with the 16% grade? I
know there's a steep section on the "front" side of Mt. Sassafras, but
that's more like 22% (according to DeLorme TopoUSA).
