WATCH OUT FOR TWO WHEELERS

Hill Spirit was out and about around 6:30 pm last night and ran into a stampede of bikers on Veto road.  Got to Elkmont and met more of the roaming herd.  These were serious racers I suspect were practicing for the US Cycling Road Race on August 30.  I was surprised to see so many already practicing on the race route and it wasn't even a weekend.  Please be aware of them as you top hills and go around curves for the next 10 days.  Remember that impatient drivers might be in your lane as they pass bikers when they shouldn't.
