Last weekend, the inaugural Blue Ridge School to Walnut Creek ride went down. 10 starters, 3 finishers. 70% attrition. Nice. In reality, it's not that hard...maybe 50 miles or so of mixed singletrack and road. But given that the route passes THROUGH TOWN, it's a little too easy to jump out and head home about an hour from the finish.

Summer of Toph, dude. Sumer of Toph.
