Starting at Mills River Park, Mills River, NC. Restrooms and water available. Park in the back past the library.

This route climbs Jeter Mountain twice, once up the "easy" side and once up the "steep" side. At 64 miles this is a generous metric with over 4,200 feet of elevation (66 ft/mi). The steep side of Jeter Mtn is a challenge: 2.2 miles, 826ft, 8.8% avg grade! Note: you can skip the steep side of Jeter and return on Talley Rd for a shorter, flatter ride.

I'm targeting a 15 mph avg pace (Pace Level 3) for a slow B ride, regrouping as needed and at the mid-point rest stop at Penrose Triangle Stop, mile 35.

Contact me if you have any questions.
