My brother and I met in Fletcher, NC this morning to ride the Fletcher Flyer century. This charity ride has 30, 50, metric and century options and calls itself the flattest century in Western North Carolina. It was hard to determine the number of riders that gathered (between 600 and 1000, I’m guessing), but at times the road into the park looked like the end scene of “Field of Dreams” with an unending line of cars. The route was a mix of “flat” roads and hill climbing. No mountain climbs, but there were several long, moderate climbs and a couple of 18% very short climbs. It was a fun day that reminded me why I enjoyed climbing in the old days...it was the descents. I really enjoyed the long freewheeling rolls that allowed recovery after the climbs. Of course, there was always another climb with the vertical piece totaling 4360 feet. The weather was almost perfect...started at 50 degrees with no wind and ended at 75 degrees with a 15 mph tailwind. As Jim would say, I fun day on the bike. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CyclistsOfWilson-COWs" group.
