Bikeman braves the effects of higher altitude at the Fortress at Beech Mountain and continues training....
Day 2 was marked by illness thought to be brought on by the massive change in altitude. Despite feeling like having a skull made from balloons, I still went and did repeats on the climb from the Fortress at Beech Mountain to the pinnacle of Beech Mountain itself. Stopping just short of my head exploding, I downed multiple bottles of water and slept through the night. Here's what others did while I nursed my altitude sickness ridden body...

Day 3, I awoke with minor head ballooning but was kept inside by torrential down pour and high winds. While others went out and braved the conditions, I opted to stay inside and heal my altitude crushed body. I kept training to a minimal one hour on rollers in the basement.
Arc hard, ride fast, go plaid!
