The main road into and out of Morgan Monroe is a gentle grade. It's kind of rolling. There is a BIG hill called Beanblossom that is part of the Hilly Hundred. It's the descent we did at the beginning. It's easy enough to avoid, however. The route we did hits some short, but slightly steep, hills on the way to Lake Lemon and, coming back, hits some long but not so steep climbs on Old State Road 37. When I say long, I mean maybe a half to 3/4 mile. They're the kind of hills that you just need to find the right gear and then patiently spin up.

I would say that, minus the descent on Bean Blossom, it's all doable for you. The steep stuff might be hard, but as I've said, all you have to do is dismount
and walk.
