Bragg-Blackjack Sept 8

Yesterday Rachel, Augie and myself explored the Mill Creek Greenway underneath Interstate 85 and GA Hwy 20. While down there I saw the following sign for the first time in my life.

There are some wooden bridges on the Greenway and they are slippery when wet. However on today's bike ride we went up the steep side of Bragg Rd and it hasn't rained here in so long this dirt and gravel road has turned to loose powder and is treacherous on skinny-tire road bikes... they should post that sign over here.

While TC did ultimately pedal all the way up this beast of a climb, it was after he left three, count 'em 3, full body imprints in the dirt.

No serious harm done, we all managed to survive and have decent ride this day.

Marshall, Theron and Dan

Insanity: A definition - Performing the same action over and over again and expecting a different result. Ride downhill, turn, fall down. Repeat. Fall down. Repeat. Fall down. Get bike on flat part and point UPHILL, ride all the way up hill. Hmmm, maybe I should have thought about that the first time...

Never say die???
