Postcards from the Edge

I decided to toss up a few pics from my...adventure. The first few are from the race, or the day before the race. The last couple are from the huge climb I did up to Cataloochee Ranch.

The opening stretch of the course...a very damp course.

The singletrack begins...

along with the fun or nightmare, depending on your point of view.

Nice and slippery.

Slick roots thrown in for good measure.

The aforementioned mud, adhered to my rig.

Fie Top Rd in Maggie Valley, NC

2200ft of ascent in just under 3 miles.

Your typical winding mtn rd.

And damn steep too!
