So this was supposed to be a recap of the Assault on Mount Mitchell. A few things conspired against us which I will explain later. We managed to get to the Spartanburg Auditorium at 6:10 AM. There were a lot of riders there but for some reason it just didn’t look as crowded as last year. When the ride got underway at 6:30 AM it was already warm and the group took off rather slowly.

We are headed down to Spartanburg this afternoon to prepare for the Assault on Marion and Assault on Mount Mitchell tomorrow. Wish us luck. Thanks.
The Assault on Mt Mitchell training ride number 4, aslo known as the Marquis de Sade ride is upon us. Starting from North Greenville University in Travelers Rest, SC and traveling up the Greenville watershed into the Blue Ridge Mountains. Just over 80 miles and almost 9,000′ of vertical ascent with some steep grades thrown in for good measure this is the perfect ride to help hurdle you toward the top of Mt Mitchell.
