Dennis and I signed up as a two man team for the Bakers Dozen several months ago. It is a thirteen hour endurance event at Hickory Knob State Park near McCormick, SC. The course is a 7.25 mile loop and the winner of the event is the person or team that completes the most laps in thirteen hours. Last weekend we pre-rode the course and got a taste of what lay ahead.
It is scenic but tricky. Not a lot of places to pass. There are a lot of erosion whoop-de-doos with mud holes in the bottom. This course will take its toll on the riders but could be a lot worse. It only has about 400 feet of climbing per lap.
The race was to be held this weekend, but they postponed it due to 90% chance of rain this Saturday. So the new date is Saturday the 12th. This means Dennis is more than likely not going to be my team mate because he has National Guard duty.
Looks like I'll be scrambling for another sucker to join me. I think solo is out of the question.
