It's the name the local riders gave to the loop that starts in Cullowhee. The name comes from how your legs feel on the ride. LOL. It's a great loop on small roads with little traffic. Most of the climbing is pretty steep. The TdF century will go over another loop off of the Ring of Fire which is Buck Ck. The addition on Buck Ck to the RoF loop makes the ride 60 miles with 8400' of climbing.
