Yep.. been there the last two (minus the rainout a couple weeks ago). I keep getting dropped by the leaders on the 'wall' at roughly 11 miles. Me and that particular stretch of asphalt are gonna have a rocky relationship, methinks.
Yes, the TdT route rides to Cherokee then up the BRP to NC 215 about 47 miles on the Parkway. If you can hang with the leaders to the Wall on Tues. night then you are faster than I am. But then most are.
