Anyone riding Bridge to Bridge Century Sunday?
 
Lenoir, NC to Grandfather Mountain, NC?
Usually draws over 1,000 riders from all over... anyone else here riding?

I know of about 15 guys here doing it(registered anyway). Bring your rubbers, it looks like it's going to be wet.

Not I. Anyone doing the Hilly Hellacious next month?

HH is Oct. 4th. I might be able to swing that. I need the mileage.

I've been talked into doing another double century to Myrtle beach on the 24th. I haven't ridden a single 100 miler all year. I'm doomed.

Sounds fun though.

I have ridden Bridge to Bridge a handful of times but nice since he early 90s. The last two miles are a kick - 1000 feet of gain. Otherwise, I would say that rides like the Assault on Mount Mitchell are more challenging.

It's a bit tougher now. The route has changed. The first 40 miles are no longer all rolling... there's a few "kickers" on the first 40 now. The last 40 miles now will feel even harder... especially that epic climb up Grandfather Mountain. :cry:

Did anyone here ride sunday? I was registered but after watching the weather I went back to bed. This ride is tough enough without riding in a monsoon for six hours . Give us a report on the conditions if you rode it.

Friend rode it. He said it was horrible. Cold and wet and foggy.

The posted results show only 274 riders to the top , looks like the turnout was light. 25 made it to the medows . Maybe next year will be more favorable .
