04/29 - drove south and stopped at North Creek Campground in Buchanan, VA - no showers, but a quiet, peaceful nice spot
04/30 - drove and arrived at Tsali in the afternoon. Rode a quick downhill on Thompson loop and then went to the NOC to meet friends and get lunch. After luch, we did an afternoon spin of Mouse and Thompson and narrowly beat the cold rain, very much enjoying the hot showers.
05/01 - rode Tsali Right and Left loop to beautiful weather in the morning, then went over to Bent Creek and did an afternoon ride. The Rice Pinnnacle to 5 Points climb was brutal - I think I averaged 4.8mph, while the current KOM has a 10.9mph average.
