First race of the year

We just ticked off our first start of the year, and wouldn't you know that it would be the everlasting Bill Feier, doing whatever he can to open and close our seasons.

Bill headed up for the first installment of the Snake Creek Time Trial Series the other weekend, Jan. 5 to be exact. This is the 4th year for the series and there was a huge turn out. There were easily 10 modified trailers pulling hundreds of bikes to the start areas. The race is a point to point ending up the Trade Center in Dalton, Ga. The time trial follows the Pinhoti trail across the mountains east of Dalton, the terrain is very rough and there is hardly any flow on the trail as you find yourself negotiating rocks, roots, and stream crossings...and basically punching the gas every chance you get. It seems like you are climbing for most of the route as you traverse the mountain peaks.

Bill entered the 35+ category and ended up with a 20th place finish. It was a good start for the season and he's already thinking of the next TT and how he'll be knocking time off my results.

We hung a couple of pictures of Bill that you can see right here.
