This is the 3rd Assault training ride.
The climbing on this ride is steeper than any climbs on the Assault on Mitchell.
The ride is easy enough for hundreds of yards before it gets hard.



George Myers, the first finisher for the Assault and Bridge to Bridge many times is still in the hunt.



















The climb up the Greenville watershed was maybe the most pleasant.

















Leaving Tuxedo I hooked up briefly with these two lads.

















I told John that I'd fall off on this one. Unfortunately, I was right again.





Caesars Head































The climbing never ended.



This is our highway system at work.
Rumble strips in what could be a very nice bike lane?
The rumble mess and mud piles forced us out of the "bike lane".

The pre-ride meal would be Thai.
