Tri-Cities Cross Race & Virginia Creeper

After a break from my daily blogging, I figured I'd document the most recent weekend adventure. Saturday morning, Molly and I left Knoxville for a cross race up in Kingsport, TN. This was the first race in the MSG series and saw a huge turnout in every event, including Jeremy, Derek, and Kevin "The Freak". On Sunday, I opted out of the second day of races so Molly and I headed to Abingdon, VA for ride on the Virginia Creeper trail. We rode all the way up through Damascus, VA to White Top Gap and then returned back to Abingdon totalling a 68 mile ride.
