I looked at the route - have to say I like a profile that goes mostly down in the second half. I am sure it's a beautiful ride. However, its the Knoxville double century that day so I am out. Knoxville's just a great ride and this is one of my 5 "pretty sure thing" doubles. (Get this - I do Knoxville 9/16 - maybe DH does it, too, who knows - and then the next day 9/17 we leave for Hawaii for a week because he's coaching the century there for TNT. Can you say BOONDOGGLE??)

Maybe next year for Auburn. Have to say Death Ride would be good training for it!
