Meh, you just need air conditioning wherever you go, that's all.

All the cool kids are moving to Asheville NC. You can ride up Mt Mitchell too.

My take on that part of the world is that it's just diverse. The liberals there rub shoulders with social and political conservatives at all points on the tolerance-bigotry spectrum, but everyone seems to get along because there's more emphasis on simply being nice.

One of the college towns would be fine. Oxford, Athens, Alpharetta, or similar. I'm also a big fan of Chattanooga, obviously.

But make no mistake--there are some real flat earthers here, some of whom hold considerable political power.

If your point is that the datlas 's could find a comfortable spot in the southeast with a strong social network, you're correct.

Rather than rubbing shoulders, I'd be concerned about rubbing elbows with mirrors.

Vain, But Lacking Talent
Well, I just signed up for another gravel event. It's actually at the North American handmade Bicycle Show in Dallas this year. March 21st. I was going to train up and do the longer route, but then found it it's a 10 mile lap format. So I could do the same 6 laps and get smoked, or I could do 3 laps and maybe finish decent. I picked "maybe finish decent." We'll see how that goes.

An outdoor sign seen today; "The first five days after the weekend are the hardest".
