shenandoah pics - round 1 of 2

more pics are going to be up tomorrow... for now - these are pics of the first climb on my pre-ride on saturday afternoon.



this is heading up to the first climb on a paved section. there were a few paved sections throughout the course which usually came after very hard sections - which served as nice little "breaks" to get to the next section.



this is still on the first climb - pavement turned to gravel, all while going upwards.



this is near the top of the first climb, right before the left hand that started the steeper, rougher area of the climb. thought the trees in front of me looked like palm trees, so i snapped off a picture.



the last 50 feet of the climb was pretty steep and seemed like you would drop off the end of a mountain at the top.



alas - no drop off. just another 90 miles to go.

round 1 of 2 pics done - pic post #2 up tomorrow.
