Only if you head up through Greer and Huddart Park. Kings isn't really steep enough to earn a "Bridge of Death", unless you ride it hard enough. A bit unusual this morning, as Eric, who's usually riding "casual" on the climbs (because he gets up super-early and has already been riding for over an hour before he meets us), was highly animated today! Fun to watch, while I could. Kevin, Kevin, Karl, Karen, Eric & Marcus on the ride this morning, no fog, dry roads, a good day to be on a bike. Kevin (my son, not the pilot) had a rough time on Kings right at the half-way point, getting a pretty good seizure and causing some concern from a passing motorist. He'd been pushing hard to stay with Marcus, maybe too hard. After he came out of the seizure, you'd think he'd ride at a civil pace but no, he went on a tear while everyone else rode semi-casual. More evidence of the "reset" phenomenon I pointed out a post or two ago. But it was Eric consistently going to the front, pushing the pace in quite a few sections. Nice to see him come alive like that! --------------------------------------------------- Images: http://www.chainreactionblogs.com/diary/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/kings_bod_2.jpg --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2015-03-13 01:04:33 Post date GMT: 2015-03-13 08:04:33 Post modified date: 2015-03-13 01:04:33 Post modified date GMT: 2015-03-13 08:04:33 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
