However you never know what Mitchell itself has in store-usually cooler and more wind.

However it also looks like there will be headwinds anywhere from 6 to 15 mph for most of the ride. At least some of the climbs should be sheltered by the terrain. Note to self: find a group and stay off the front!!!!
Good luck. Wnds can be wearing, and, as I understand it, Mt. Mitchell is a major challenge without wind.
