Routes:
Climb of the Day: Franklin Gibson, southwest from Trott's Branch to Leitch Rd. 3,000' distance, 120' elevation gain, maximum grade (per my Garmin) of 11.2% We don't go up Franklin Gibson very often in this direction, and there's a reason for that. It certainly was memorable and scenic.
Weather: sunny, 60 at the start rising to 73 by late afternoon and windy: winds 12-17 mph with gusts up to 29 mph.
