Sleepy Gap

Spring has broken open across the skies of Asheville. Some rain, but mostly the crisp clearness of open skies and the promise of green. I headed out to the trails on the first clear day I could. The trails were surprisingly dry. I rode out feeling my legs grow stronger with each push. By the second ride, I was thinking, "I could actually be good at this..." and then there was the second ride. We were climbing up a surprisingly long run. It hurt. My legs were tired and I was sure it wasn't at all worth it. Then when we crested the peak
