My riding buddies want to go down and ride up this mountain one weekend this fall, then continue on to Cherokee, NC, and back to Tennessee for about a 70-mile total. I have a couple concerns, starting with the 20 mile climb and ending with having driven to Cherokee before and not being much at ease with the width of the roads. At least, while the elevations are high, the climbs don't seem excessively steep. I'll have to talk with Marty some more about this one.
Meanwhile, yesterday morning's ride was a nice hilly one, though nothing local can prepare you for the Appalachians, as we learned by painful experience when we did the Cheat Mountain century.
