I leave for Pisgah in North Carolina in the morning. Though it’s just me traveling, and I’m only going for five days, I feel a bit like this –

Tomorrow night I hope to get to my cousin’s house with enough time to catch the Level II yoga class she teaches as her studio, Shenandoah Yoga. That’s gotta feel good after 12 hours in the car, I’ve gotta make (just remembered to throw my yoga mat in the car. pioneers probably also traveled with their yoga mats, tossing them out of the van wagon when things got too heavy and too tough.)

Then Friday I plan to join Emily and Dicky and Namrita and a whole bunch of people I don’t know yet for some camping. Saturday Emily and I are teaming up for PMBAR. I think I’ve accumulated all the required gear that I need, Emily has some of the key ‘team’ pieces. My goal for this race is to have an awesome day of pedaling on awesome trails. I predict it will be a polar opposite of last weekend. Instead of fast and flat I expect this to be slow and grindy. Hard saying, not knowing. Never been to Pisgah before.

If the stars align I will meet up with the new Bike29 team kits at Pisgah, and get to outfit the far away teamsters on site. Hope they turned out well.

I’m pretty sure I won’t be posting much between here, there and back again. See you on the other side.
