Deals Gap - April 2007 - Part 2

The weather today wasn't as good. It started out with blue skies, but quickly turned wet. Our morning "warm-up" run involved doing the "Tail" in both directions (600+ turns, many at full lean to start the day) , and then a trip to the Fontana Dam. After the dam, We had showers on and off for most of the day (damn), but were fortunate to experience some dry roads here and there. The roads here are phenomenal, and the riders are stupid fast. Tomorrow looks like it may be a write-off, so we may be heading home early.....
