Major Taylor Mountain Summit - 2011 > I rode to Unicoi > 3 miles with a 2 mile climb. There must have been 70 people out there for the start. It was great to see everyone. I felt great in my new MTC3 kit. I did not intend to wear a new kit on the ride but I did. Worked great. We took a bunch of photos. Great compliments on our kit. We took off at about 10:30AM. There was a 75 mile and a 50 mile route. I took the 50. Northerners were generally hurting. We talked extensively about how badly this past winter had limited training time. Even myself, I was way under my cycling fitness level for this type of event. My low cycling fitness showed up in my left knee. Simply doing too much too fast. I knew of it before coming down though. In Valparaiso, the Sunday before, there was a brutal wind from the south. I rode into for 15 miles straight and cooked my left knee. Any way Thursday was a pretty good ride. I was with Neal (MACC) group and got separated along with 3 others. My Garmin got us through. One rider got a serious cramp in his thigh. I knew he was a good rider. I helped him back. I knew my knee would give me problems.
