The Assault on Morrow Mountain provides beautiful country scenery, minimal traffic, great roads and plenty of hills…mostly rollers with challenges all along the way. The vertical climb is approx. 4400 ft. over the 60 mile route. It’s a great way to get ready for the 2008 MS Bike Tour century route to Greenville.

All Riders Should…

Bring at least 2 water bottles as well as nutrition for a long ride. There will be 3 rest stops with limited supplies.

Be prepared for the predicted weather.

Have good tires (look at them closely for excessive wear). Bring at least 1 extra inner tube and CO2 cartridge in case of flat. Pack these items even if you don’t know how to fix a flat…someone will help you if you need it.
