Yessss!! Managed to finish the ride without breaking any bones!!

First 100+ mile ride. Great ride organized by Rakesh Rao up to Burnt Mountain and the cute town of Talking Rock – where uptown is one house separated from downtown!! Best part was being part of a 9 rider team. Of course, I was the one with the least experience and was no doubt tentative at times – especially those right twistys on downhill but it was a great experience to ride with a large group from Gears and Beers!

The trip included a couple of stops to enjoy the views and a lunch break as well as a ice cream break!
