….what did I get myself into?
My friend, Frank, messaged me this morning, asked me if I would be interesting in riding the 2018 Assault on Mount Mitchell with him. He gave it the old “we are getting the band back together” pitch, saying that he had talked some of the guys we used to ride with to register for the event. Frank and I have attempted the Assault together before. I finished once out of three attempts — it’s that tough of a ride.
I guess it’s time to get the old titanium steed out of mothballs.
I registered tonight
Recently, I lost 22 pounds. Good thing. I need to start getting ready for this ride NOW. I didn’t lose the weight for riding purposes but, hey, it’s a bonus!

Go get it!
fingers crossed!
Geez, brother… you lost a whole BIKE! Nice going.
Yeahhhhh.. makes a huge difference when I ride. Plus, I am not as afraid to wear my kit as I was.
I’d bet! Congrats, man. That’s YUUUUUGE!
Mitchell has a beast load of climbing. The Less weight I am dragging up the mouNain the better.
Oh boy – good luck and much joyful success. I’m happy to ride vicariously. Looking forward to hearing how we did. 🙂
Lol — I will be happy if we just finish!
