I haven't done that ride, but I have done a ton of MTBing in that area. The roads are beautiful. Hmmm, BF works that weekend! (I'm already taking Thursday off to SAG Bike Florida when they come through Gainesville...)

Sign up for Three States Three Mountains! (Chatanooga) You can share my hotel room! Or Dahlonega, Six Gap, in September! You can go winerying with me and BF! We didn't even make it out to dinner the night before, last year...(Reg is not open yet, but I already have my room reserved!) Or Tour of Springtime Rural Vistas South (that's kind of far for you, but it's back to back centuries!

I really shouldn't go to Assault on Carolinas, because, depending on how the 400k this Saturday goes, the 600k is April 1st, only three weeks later, and I am not sure a mountain ride the previous weekend would be a good idea...But next year!

I'd probably drive as far as WNC for a bike ride. Aren't you practically right there, in Asheville? (Put a new tranny in my Explorer there, one bike trip...)

I haven't done this ride, but I have done Caesar's Head (included in the ride) several times. It is a real butt-kicker. George Hincapie uses it for training. It's a six-mile climb with only a brief respite of almost-flat in the middle. Can you say 'granny gear'? But it's in a gorgeous area.

Sounds like good training for Six Gap!
