The Snake

Snake Creek Gap Time Trial is a two race series covering 50 miles of rocky ridgeline singletrack in the mountains of North Georgia in the dead of winter - January 4 and February 8, 2020. It's hard to imagine a more difficult 50 mile race; naturally, I've wanted to race this course ever since I heard about it seven years ago. I've always lived just a bit too far to justify it but not now.

I haven't ridden much this past month due to several factors: the days are shorter, it got cold all of a sudden, job searching is time consuming and a bit depressing, and I've been playing with my 3D printer a lot. Riding motivation tends to fluctuate anyways; I think it's good to take a break every now and then to reset. But, with the first race just a little over a month away, it's time to get back at it. Once again, I'll be racing the single speed, because thumbs and suspension don't work well in the cold anyways. Very excite.
