I've been Georgia. You are very lucky to have those mountains available to you. If I lived where you do I would have a set-up like yours.
Yes, I ride areas like in your picture on my mountain bike. That looks like the kind of place where mosquitoes would thrive.
It is about a 4 hour drive to the nearest mountain, but there is no shortage of hills nearby. I am lucky in having a wide variety of terrain to ride around here.
