The Sun Mountain road is always a challenge climbing over 1000 feet in nine miles from Winthrop to arrive at the lodge at 2824 feet. Its a great cycling workout if you just don't have two or three hours to spend. Today my climbing partner bbBob and I rode up to the lodge to enjoy the wonderful views of the valley. After a quick moment at the bench in front of the lodge we headed back down. Since my ski accident where I broke five ribs I am more cautious descending and I don't think I hit over 32 mph. Sliding down the chipseal rode on my a$$ doesn't seem like much fun so caution will prevail. To sum it up, great ride on a great day. Cycling season is upon us.
