Ride Description:  Beautiful country scenery, minimal traffic, good road conditions and plenty of hills…mostly rollers with challenges all along the way. The vertical climb on this route will exceed 5000 ft. over the 62 mile route. Training for the Assault on Mt. Mitchell??? this is a great training ride for that event. If you decide to ride to the bottom of the Morrow Mountain park before going to the top you will add 4 miles to your overall distance. There is also an optional 9.8 mile loop at the end of the ride for those seeking a few last minute miles.
