BVC-CHAT Weekend B-Bicycling

[Brett]

I quit trying to get in loops and just started riding roads.  You can get in
2 hours of riding out there and that's just the section south and west of
Wellborn.  It's very pretty and super safe, too.  I remember taking a looper
with me riding one time and it freaked him out.  I take every right hand
turn down every paved road that I can't see the end of.  Every turnaround is
opportunity to workout sprint/accelerations.  It's sort of odd, but once you
do it, it maximizes all the roads in your area and starts to seem pretty
normal.  It throws another type of workout in your mix.
