Day II - Bent Creek and Up & Over into Pisgah

Curvy Butt climbing the last little pitch up Ingles Field Gap and onto Greens Lick.
 It's 16 hours to Asheville, NC from Ottawa.  Yes, 16 hours of driving.  What can I say?  It's worth it.  I've been going 6 out of the last 7 years. 

We got between 6-8 the first leg before we crashed for the night in Harrisburg, PA.  The next day was a 2.5-3 hr drive to The Southern Traverse (see last blog post).  Got in late, to bed, up early to make your own waffles at the free conti breakfast at the hotel, then it was off to do damage in Bent Creek and over into Pisgah. 

King came unprepared physically but full of heart and spirit.  Here he is worshiping the ground. . . that or puking from all the climbing.  He don't look so good.

Under the Blue Ridge Parkway back into Bent Creek.
Three photos from day two.  Meh.  Suck it.  I was busy riding.  I may have "Twitted" about it on Tweeter.  I can't believe I Twit now.  Since I began Twitting I've had more requests for my stickers - - - - > (see the sidebar dummy)Dicky was even saying that there might be a request coming from the 'higher ups' at Breck Epic to be the official "Jebus loves you . . ." sponsor for this year's race.

Glad I got on the Jebus Train before he became a must have!
