You've all seen the beginning of the television show "Gilligans Island" right?Picturesque morning, sun shining, blue skies, cheerful -willing participants.
-cut to the next scene- boat sloshing, waves rolling, lightning crashing...
then those 4 words.... "a three hour tour"
We've all been there on a bike. What started out as a slow 1 hour ride soon
turns into a 6 hour saga because of one wrong turn while you were eating a powerbar.
Well two of Paceline's finest experienced their own saga
last Sat. on the Virginia Creeper Trail.
Chad Milburn and Bob Callender set off early that morning..say around 10:30 am
with 9 Almond Joys, two bottles of water a piece, and their new Cannondale mtn bikes.
72 miles, 12 hours, 1 bottle of Gatorade, and a Subway sub later, they finally made it back to the car. 8,000 calories burned. Good thing they took lights.
Look for their group trip up to the Creeper. Sign up soon.
Almond Joys.....free of charge!!!
