I know this is a blog dedicated to history, but I had to give some props to my nephew, Phillip, for completing his first Century in Southwest VA on May 25. The race was called Mountains of Misery, and, having driven over a great deal of the topography covered by the route, I was convinced it was pretty aptly named. He finished within seconds of his goal time.Congratulations man! (and sorry for glomming your pic off Picasa)
(And here's the obligatory historical reference- the race actually finished at the historic Mountain Lake Hotel where "Dirty Dancing" was filmed on location. It's gorgeous.)
