I think Kathi drove up to the gate a the Skyline Drive at Afton and did not go up Reed's Gap at 18% at the top.... I have been down that road but never up!

Hope to hook up sometime in '08 - let me know when you are coming through - I am 5 miles off Rt. 29 in Madison....
Hey, I drive right past you all the time! I am not sure when I'll head back there, as race season starts in just a few weeks! I'm sure I'll be back for the Jefferson Cup RR in March and I'll probably spend some extra days around then. I'll definitely need some lower key rides (well, relatively, with all the hills). I tend to ride a lot down near that course and maybe up to Monticello, but I do spend a bunch of time out around Free Union/Earlysville/White Hall etc. I've never ridden from White Hall area out to Afton, but I've seen routes that go out that way to Skyline (the last climb up to Skyline is supposed to be horrible--at least by my reading of the route maps). That's probably why I've never done it. I prefer to drive over that beast .
