I can feel the magic of the Ryan Gaul Open (RGO) now. Last year was freakin' epic. I can't wait...just another few hours and we'll be just above 11,000', above the treeline near the top of Baldy Mountain. I expect about two dozen of us this year. Some had work and family conflicts, but the diehards and top seeds will be out there in force. Chugging the beer on top of the Juniata trail bridge is not my strongest point, but I can deal. Cruising through B line will also be fun, as well as the stair gap by Empire Burger once we get down into town. Probably about 2,000' of descending over about 6 miles. Salivation.
