Title: Jailhouse 300K
Post by Kwijybow on Jun 27^th, 2010, 9:11pm

A beautiful night to ride, almost didn't need lights it was so bright with the full moon. Went pretty hard, and felt really good at times, and really bad at times. Manged to set a new 300K PR, but was no match for the Stevinator! He dropped me on the long climb out of Gatesville, and had me by 45 minutes by Italy. Speaking of Gatesville, what a place! I did have a scary moment coming down a hill heading back into Valley Mills when 2 deer darted out in front of me while going 30mph, just brushed the tail of the trailing one, as all I had time to do was aim for the rear end and hope they kept moving. Daniel and Sharon provided a much appreciated spread in Valley Mills! Seems we all had a dog encounter on 1243 before US77, with it getting progressively worse. I understand Peggy ran over a paw, and Gary and Dana actually got knocked down. Hope everyone had a safe and pleasant ride!

Take Care,
Nelson.
