For the 2nd Skyway Beer Run, we decided to ride the opposite way, from Cheaha to Sylaward. We joked that this would be considered the 'downhill' version, but there was still plenty of climbing involved, no joke. This year's event was moved up in the calendar to the first weekend of March, as we were still trying to settle on a time that doesn't conflict with all the other events that tend to start up at the end of March and in April. On the Thursday before the Saturday ride, a cold front and rain covered the Cheaha mountaintop with a thin coat of ice which quickly melted on Friday morning. The weather on ride day was awesome. In all, we had 13 riders and another 7 supporters who hung out around Cheaha.
