I think you need a winch or something, incredibly steep!

That would have been fun, eh? Too many serious looking folk about. Don't they have a celebrity race or something on friday? (that's when we were there).
The parties were just cranking up and the town was really hopping.

All friendly though.
The roads were perfectly smooth, but the climbs were STEEP!
I'd bring a triple chainring for sure. I'll have to keep my eye out for any organized
rides around there (Bloomington, IN or anywhere in KY). That will give me something
to train for!
A few more pics from around Harlen, KY:
We drove up Black Mountain (highest point in KY) just after sunset ...
That climb has got to rival anything in Europe. Steep? Oh yeah.
We were half way up wondering why there weren't any guard
rails next to the road where you might get killed if you went off.
Higher up, there were guard rails, where you
would get
killed if you went off.
After descending you'd need to replace your
brake shoes, there weren't any long straightaways, just LEFT! RIGHT!
LEFT! RIGHT! ... whew! ....
