So this was supposed to be a recap of the Assault on Mount Mitchell. A few things conspired against us which I will explain later. We managed to get to the Spartanburg Auditorium at 6:10 AM. There were a lot of riders there but for some reason it just didn’t look as crowded as last year. When the ride got underway at 6:30 AM it was already warm and the group took off rather slowly.

We are headed down to Spartanburg this afternoon to prepare for the Assault on Marion and Assault on Mount Mitchell tomorrow. Wish us luck. Thanks.

The Presbyterian Hospital Invitational Criterium is excited to announce its inclusion in both the U.S.A. National Racing Series and U.S.A. CRITS Championship series. The 2008 races have top ranking and the highest purses in the country, guaranteeing elite riders for both and an awesome spectator event.

Nicole and I went out on the Memorial Day ride with the group from Bicycles East. This was the third Day in a row that I had to ride. The previous two days were fairly hard, so I knew this would be a little difficult.

We started out with two other tandems also on the ride. It is nice to see tandeming becoming more popular in the area. One couple was doing the 53 and the other doing 38 miles.
