The Bulldogs Head South: Spring Break Training Trip in North Carolina

Eight adventurous Bulldogs headed south for an epic spring break training trip in the beautiful (and steep!) Blue Ridge Mountains. The team rode hard on the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway and made some friends along the way including Dartmouth and Maryland riders who joined the fun.  

We made a 3,500 foot climb, while enjoying incredible views, to the summit of Mount Mitchell, the highest peak east of the Mississippi.  Following a wicked descent, the exhausted group was left smiling ear to ear. When we were not on our bikes, we explored the area, stumbling upon waterfalls, beautiful hiking trails and breathtaking sunsets. North Carolina, we will miss you!
