Hours can feel like minutes and one mile can feel like an eternity when you push yourself outside your sphere of comfort and plunge wholeheartedly into the challenge as if there is no option to give up. Experiences like these are unique. Memories of suffering are fleeting. What memories remain are those of the time spent in the full light of life, out of doors, pushing ahead until all that remains is your will to Ride On.”</p> <p>To read more of the Highlands Passage recap, <a href="http://swallowbicycleworks.com/highlandspassagerecap">click here</a>.</p>http://swallowbicycleworks.com/post/52792462763http://swallowbicycleworks.com/post/52792462763Wed, 12 Jun 2013 11:13:15 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/41522c955062c9555614efe448bb5c17/tumblr_mnzmdlFWTo1r3dn8uo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/fb71e3fcd6f5c4bc30aafa7401c01c60/tumblr_mnzmdlFWTo1r3dn8uo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/13fbbe940e2ee40155495822fac20018/tumblr_mnzmdlFWTo1r3dn8uo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><p class="p1">Here are a few details to note as you prepare for your Highlands Passage adventure. The weather is looking like it will be sunny with highs in the upper 70’s and lows in the low 60’s. Parking is limited at <a href="http://goo.gl/maps/8826D" target="_blank">Miguel’s Pizza</a> and they tend to be very busy on the weekends. Please make as little impact on their parking lot as possible by car-pooling and/or parking at the <a href="http://goo.gl/maps/jhwUp" target="_blank">alternative parking lot</a>, if their lot is close to full. We will still start the ride from the <a href="http://goo.gl/maps/8826D" target="_blank">Miguel’s Pizza</a> parking lot at 10 AM and end our ride at that location so we can maximize on immediate pizza eating upon the completion of our ride. Also! This region of Kentucky is a dry-county meaning you cannot purchase beer within the county limits. You can bring beer into the county, but please be respectful of the local business regulations regarding the issue. </p> <p class="p1">Lastly, come prepared to support yourself and to have a great adventure! Attached is the cue sheet and map for the ride along with the gps route links. We will have these maps and cue sheets to hand out before the ride and also ride t-shirts available for $25 after the 108 mile ride. See you Saturday!</p> <p class="p1">For general information about this ride, <a href="http://swallowbicycleworks.com/rides" target="_blank">click here</a>.</p> <p class="p1">108 Mile GPS route, <a href="http://ridewithgps.com/routes/2506743" target="_blank">click here</a>.<span><br/></span></p> <p class="p1">36 Mile GPS route, <a href="http://ridewithgps.com/routes/2505882" target="_blank">click here</a>. </p></p>http://swallowbicycleworks.com/post/52320777646http://swallowbicycleworks.com/post/52320777646Thu, 06 Jun 2013 16:03:21 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/ee7f2c69f08a3d3285fe362cceadba06/tumblr_mnto9zDG701r3dn8uo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>See you this Saturday for Highlands Passage!

A couple of weeks ago we decided to venture down to the Red River Gorge area and explore the surrounding land. We decided on a route that linked a series of roads to intriguing natural landmarks. We rode that route and liked it so much that we’d like to ride it again, this time, with you!
