The Long Weekend . May 2010.. AOMM & Brasstown ?
Would anyone be interested in doing Brasstown AND Assault on Mt Mitchell on a Saturday and Monday this coming May ? I'm calling it The Long Weekend.
It would only be about 206 miles and 26,000 ft of climbing.....
AOMM date is set for Monday May 17.... hopefully Brasstown Bald will be the same weekend as last year ( meaning Sat May 15) as I haven't seen a finalized date yet.
I'm not that fast but I think it would be quite an accomplishment to complete both within 2 days of each other and meeting some other people might be fun too.
I completed AOMM this year and it was a good ride. Brasstown is pretty brutal from what I understand.
Anyway, thought I would see who would be interested.
Thoughts ?

Bump. Just curious if you're headed to AOMM tomorrow...I did Brasstown again Saturday, and I probably could do another tomorrow but I wouldn't be happy.
