Century Road Bike Route to Meadows of Dan

Everyone,

 

My wheels and gears are spinning and I'm wondering about the possibility of a Fall "classic" century ride from Danville to Meadows of Dan the weekend of October 15th-16th.  It's the same weekend as the Indian Summer Days fesival in MoD ... I figure they might appreciate us a bunch.

 

Who's in ???

Wes,

 

I got to thinking .... How about a "century" route to Meadows of Dan

 

100 miles ... it shows almost 102 miles but I couldn't get MapMyRide to transition onto the parkway without going down a dirt road.

 

This route has 5200 feet of climbing, which makes this route a little more "doable" as compared to B2B or Mitchell.

 

I think this would be a very fast race until the last 20 miles, so it's a lot like B2B, but only half the climbing.

 

Check it out ... Danville needs a great century race of its own.

With our new Jaguar system, we can do this for sure :)

 

If anyone else wants to comment, feel free to.  Does anyone else have a better suggestion for getting up to the BRP?
