4 climbs on the route including Willow and Jeter Mountain. Be cautious on the descents! Not many riders did this ride for cycle and suds. I thought I would repeat it for those who missed out. We start and end at the Mills River Brewery! A great place to hang out after the ride.

This is a NO-DROP ride as much as possible, with an expected average speed around 12 mph. We will regroup at major turning points. This is a beautiful ride, taking in scenery of the Beech Glen and Gabriels Creek areas, with a fair number of ups and downs. This is a short route, but, averaging 91 ft of climbing per mile, it is not without its charms.

This is a tough metric+ route that I cobbled together using 3 shorter routes. There is enough climbing overall to consider it a Half Burner I think. There will be a rest stop at the new On Your Bike Cafe/Bike Shop in Marshall (about mile 24) and an optional stop (slightly off course) at the Exxon near I-26 in Mars Hill (about mile 45). In total this is a 65.5 mile route with 5,095 ft of climbing (says ridewithgps). There are no super long climbs but there are 9 climbs of more than one mile so there is no lack of climbing on this route. The weather looks to be nice with expected temperature in the mid-high 50s at ride start and reaching only a high of about 64.
