fayetteville to russellville
got the fellas packed up and on the rode today. we bid adieu to our lovely homes and hosts in fayetteville and made the two hour drive to russellville. we're staying at a nice home on the dardanelle "lake" (a damned river, if i ever saw one). it's warmer down here. a solid 5 degrees warmer. i guess we're looking at 90°-ish temperatures. the crit is in the evening on friday, but the road races are all early morning.
the terrain changed considerably as we moved south. fayetteville is really right on the edge of the ozarks. there are plenty of hills and "mountains" and fayetteville itself is situated right on a rather steep hillside. those hills are deceptive. you can gain a considerable amount of elevation and not really realize it because the hills roll so much. things are a lot flatter around here. but there are still ranges of hills that pop out of the flood plains, mt nebo is a good one. highest point in arkansas. we're gonna climb that one on sunday.
