Subject: RE: training for downhill in flatland - help Madeye, I don't know if this will help, but I live in Brunswick and there are great places to train down here. It would be a one hour drive for you but it would at least be somewhere to train. You have two options here. First is the St Simons Causeway. It has tons of bikers and runners/walkers with a dedicated multiuse path. The people that drive the causeway are accustomed to looking out for folks. On the weekend there are lots of people going both directions. It is a series of four medium sized bridges. The other option is the Jekyll (Sidney Lanier) Bridge. To the top of the bridge is .75 mile at about a 6% grade. It is a monster of a bridge! On the weekend there are lots of bikers, walkers/runners. Like I said it would be about an hour straight down I-95. Let me know if you need more details. Good luck finding somewhere. There really are so few options for those of us who live ine the really flatlands. |
