Dynamo July GAPS Weekend: A Celebration of All Things American

by Haley on July 5, 2011

What could possibly be better than a weekend in the North Georgia Mountains with friends? Having that weekend coincide with the Birthday of the USA!!!
 .
Add in some swim/bike/run fun and it was pretty much the best weekend of my life.

The workout format was similar to the set-up we had back in April – lots and lots of hills. But this time we  added a few new faces:

Newbie Tim summiting his first ever GAP!

By day three everyone was riding like veterans – even cruising up the steep grades of Hogpen.

Becca, Kris, and Ryan - don't look down! Hogpen is STEEP!

And it wasn’t all about riding – the dinners were almost as good as the desserts! Linda brought her famous candy bar cookie cake:

And I contributed GIANT Marshmallows for the World’s Best S’mores.

We all came away stronger, happier, tanner, and with a bit more appreciation for the great country we call home. And of course, looking forward to the hard work paying off with fast racing later this summer!
