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

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.

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.

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.

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 .
