Blood, Sweat and Gears

[skibum]

My niece goes to ASU in Boone so I am driving up from Georgia to visit her and do the ride while I'm there. It'll be fun to see how the mountains in NC compare to the ones we have down here.

If you intended to do the century, I hope you're already signed up...it's sold out. You can still do the 50. I have to check and see if they got my registration before it filled up.

So I suggested to my DH that we do this ride (the half option) in a half-joking manner...and he wants to do it.

We live in GSO and ride a lot of rolling hills...are we gonna get our asses handed to us on this one? (the milage doesn't scare me as we are comfortably at 60 miles...it's the terrain).

Anyone with experience care to comment?

I'm not familiar with the 50-mile route; it splits very early from the century. See one of my earlier messages in this thread for a description from the ride's web site. From the description, sounds like you'll be fine.
