Bound for Boone

I am finalizing my training and getting ready to ride the Boone Gran Fondo. We are leaving early to enjoy a small family vacation in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina. The bike is ready:

The Jamis Record sports a Dura Ace group set with an absoluteBlack compact oval chain ring. The mountains should not be a problem. I am ready!

Watch Twitter and Instagram for photos.I will be back after the big ride for a longer more complete post on gran fondos.
