This weekend was a big one for me regarding biking so if you are looking for Esme' pictures please wait for the next one.

Saturday was the Marquis de Sade Marquis de Sade Ride Map ride out of Tigerville, SC. It was 85+ miles with 8400 feet of cumulative climb. The hardest ride I have ever done, and it took it's toll. I did manage to finish it, only stopped at rest areas and never had to walk, but boy was it a tough ride. I will insert a link that shows the details of the ride including my (lack of) performance.

Sunday morning I woke up and decided I should take advantage of feeling far better than expected and hurried out to make the After the Bridge Run Ride, a local ride put on by the Charleston Bicycle Company (where I bought my new ride). Here is a link to that ride:

ABRR Link.

It was long ride, and windy with some rain, but well worth it. Also it was my first club 'century' (100 miles), although it was only 96+. Here is a link that shows the details of that ride, and again, my lack of performance:

The next link brings you to photos I took from the top of White Oak Mountain. It was the most difficult (brutal) climb on the ride, but the view was spectacular:
