As the organizers what they'r doing on Mt George. It would be such a nice loop otherwise.

Isn't Mount George the road we climbed that day Thom and I turned around early? I didn't think the traffic was that bad. But that could have just been good luck on our part. The Knoxville Double also goes over it.

Knoxville goes over it very early in the morning (it's probably mile 25 at most) so traffic's not really an issue.

Veronica, yes it was the same - and east to west is better, but it was really sheer luck. Early helps but both Bill, Kim and I have all had near death experiences. Too many for the few times we've ridden it. It's getting a rep.

Well, I didn't have a near death experience, but I really, really dislike the west to east climb up Mt. George. I'd guess that heading east to west early in the day on a Sunday wouldn't be a big problem. That course does look fun.

I think I'll pass on this one. Besides the scary Mt. George issue, it's about 90% certain my husband and I will be doing the Tour of the Unknown Coast the weekend before. That should about do me for difficult centuries that month.
