So what's it like....Bull Gap

Today I didn't have a lot of time for riding so I took the bike out on 148 to Bee Gum road and mounted up to ride up the final hill of Bull Gap. For some strange reason I got away from the house and left my helmet and water behind. I took the chance and rode without the helmet but that wasn't smart. It was just too far to go back for it. Not having water wasn't good either. I don't know why I left them. I had them both but decided at the last second to close the camper before I left. Maybe I was just distracted. Anyway, I got out on the road and rode up to the top of the mountain making the best speed I can remember. You have to also factor in that I hadn't ridden the other 10 miles out there but I was encouraged. Then I turned around and rode over 6 mile hill up to Big John road. From there I rode back over 6 mile hill and down to Bee Gum. I pedaled up to 30 mph on the way down to the car. Overall average speed. 15.5 which includes some pretty good hills. Not bad for me!
