So todays road ride was amazing it was actually kind of cool out. jt and i did a sweet climb about 12.5 minutes long. The mountain is called Tennessee hill. I'm still a little nervous descending though after last weeks crash.

So yesterday I did a pretty sweet ride, one killer climb that was really steep and twisty, probably similar to this rattlesnake climb in ontario. So coming down was just as steep and I still had my brakes set up for ontario not super strong. So I was coming down through some s turns fine then I realized I had to much speed and went through one allmost to fast then right after this corner was a hairpin and by this point I'm hard on the brakes but it was not enough. i ended up going of the road and going over the bars into a bunch of trees. I got up and just had scrapes on my knees and wrist, the bike is fine. I was just like holy shit I could have died. I got up and just started laughing becuase all you can see on the road is one long skid mark going off into the woods. I totaly destroyed my cellphone but the ipod was still in perfect condition. I just found out my school has espresso and other fancy coffee's covered by are meal plan which is awesome becuase drinks like this are normaly expenive. My friend has a bunch of photos of me after the ride I'll post thoose in a few days when i get them from him.

So today I got to do my first afternoon ride, with out ny time limits. So I ended up doing 3 hours on my own. The terrain is really good becuase it's really long rolling climbs so you can easily stay above 150bpm's. But if any of you of you Canadians were complaing about the heat today it was 37 here. I ended up drinking 6 bottles and a can of dr.pepper which is the most popular soda here along with mt dew. My camera's batterys are dead so i didn't get any photo's.

My bartape eh,

Just some phoos from this mornings ride. I had to ride the mtb because I snapped a derailleur cable on my road bike yesterday and didn't have time to fix it, but I did manage to find some trails. I also found a road called WYNN Hallow .

Y'all probably know that I'm going to school in Kentucky and racing for the cycling team. I've only got to do a few rides and I have to say the riding here is amazing, way better than back in Ontario. They have this thing called a hallow or holler as the say which is a road that just goes into the hills. But these roads are amazing tight and twisty with lots of sharp corners. I have not got to do much exploring yet becuase I've been doing freshman orientation stuff all day and have to start my rides at 6:30 am and have to be back 8:30. Next week my regular schedule starts and I'll get a bunch of photos on one of my rides.
