PMBAR 2013 Finished!

Saturday, May 4th @ Pisgah National Forest, Brevard, NC.
Rigid Niner One 9 w/32:21 gearing, Racing Ralph 2.4 front 2.25' rear
Partner: Jay Lundi (for the 4th time) on his Rigid Specialized Carve.

This was a tough one. It was wet and muddy with waaaay too much hike-a-bike. It ended up pouring rain and we finished ~52 miles and 10k feet of vert. gain in ~12.5 hours. I actually felt pretty good the entire day but Jay was having some tough times. Still, as always he gutted it out for the qualifying finish in spite of near hypothermia. :) Good times in the Blue Ridge Mtns.
