This weekend was the annual Icycle race in Fontana. This is one of my all time favorite races. The course is always hard the weather 9 times out of 10 is horrible. The people who attend this race are true mountain bike riders. Fontana Village is this little area tucked in the mountain next to the Smoky Mountains. We once again rented a cabin and Lauren and Cashen joined us for the weekend. We drove over Saturday morning, checked in, and registered for the race. The race started at 12 noon and the temp was around 32 degrees, snow on the ground, and a stiff wind. The course was really fast because everything was frozen. After the race we were all greeted to PBR. From that point forward things got pretty interesting.
I think the photos below will help tell the story.

Looks like you had a good weekend!
PBR and bikes...sounds like a plan!
Sure miss riding with you man!
I'm glad you didn't mean PBR as Pro Bull Riding.
I wish you all could have been there. I didn’t mention our encounter with three true mountain guys that all dropped out of school when they were 15. That’s a whole another store. I did however get video that captured our conversation with these guys. Can you say Deliverance!
