A date with the Black Snake

Tomorrow I get to ride Black Snake Road. See pix.

It's a tough one and a great test of my fitness. Long and hard. Yeah.

First time I ever attempted it, had to stop for a breather at the switchback. That's good, though, because now I have these pix to show you.

Next time I hit it, made it up without stopping, but it was a slow grind at the end of a 3 hour ride.

This time I'm going to hit it long and hard. Yeah. Maybe twice.
