While the rest of the country tries to decide who they will vote for for President, Nicole and I are making much more important decisions. These decisions will affect our riding and training for perhaps years, well after our next president has come and gone. We are making choices about the component selection for our next tandem!

I’ve had a couple of projects I’ve been working on for the past few months that I thought I’d share with you. The first project, is my PedalForce MTB bike. Regular readers will recognize the frame, as my uncle also has the same frame. We both purchased the frames at the same time, I’ve just been a lot more pickier about what components I’m willing to put on the bike.

I will no longer be updating The Incidental Cyclist calendar with weekly or recurring rides, all special rides and events will continue to be updated. For information about weekly or recurring rides please contact your local area clubs, visit their web sites or go to the Weekly Rides web site maintained by Jeff Viscount.
Make plans to ride with us on Saturday, Oct. 4, 2008.
100K-62 Miles
The 100K ride is a relentless hill climbing experience with over 4,400 feet of climbing on this loop. The ride quickly leaves the town of Rutherfordton and puts the rider on some of the most beautiful and lightly traveled country roads around. Prior training for this ride is a must as this is not an easy ride, but for those looking for a challenge it is the ride for you. The ride has two rest stops at approximately 24.7 miles and 42 miles. Both stops have a restroom or Port-a-John. A map of the course is provided below.
For up to the minute details please go to Weekly Rides – Morrow Mountain Massacre, as circumstances planning an event such as this are subject to change.
125 Miles & 7500 ft. of Climb
What happens when you allow a few pedal heads to compare routes and drink beer at the same time? Morrow Mountain Massacre is what happens…
