Higher....

Today I made a longer ride. Not a lot longer, but I rode to the height of Skway Motorway from the valley below. I started where Wildcat road intersects Rocky Mount and rode the whole way up. I was feeling pretty strong until I got home and sat down. Mike called this past friday. He was impressed that I was riding as much as I am. I am too. I have a goal now. That makes a lot of difference in my effort. Today or tomorrow, I should be getting those tires and the seat from Nashbar. That will makes some difference I hope. If I were to continue to ride, I believe I'd have to replace the mountain bike with a better one. The frame has taken a lot of dings from rocks. I don't really intend to do riding exclusively. I want to continue to hike more than ride. The next challenge is to ride distance. I have an idea to go out to the road near the Pinhoti and ride up to the Scenic Drive road at Cheaha. I need to find those maps and determine the length of it.
