Thanks for the good info. I hope I really enjoy this ride. As a young adult, I spent more weekends than I could count in the N. Ga. mountains. The mountains on a nice day are the most relaxing place in the world. I can hardly wait to ride my bike up there. I'm hoping to do this well enough to ride 6-gap in September, which I understand is a "real" mountain ride.
