Assault on Mt. Mitchell Race

Through my quest to find a number to do the Assault on Mt. Mitchell…I have finally found one. I have wanted to do this race since I moved here. It's kind of a pain to get into the ride because they only let 1,000 people race to the top. Once you get on the list you are guaranteed a spot for next year unless you sell your number. Check out the climbing chart. All the climbing comes in the last 30 some miles of the 102 mile ride. It's a pretty challenging course. The real challenge is I have a race on June 9th called the Roan Groan and June 11th is Mitchell. Lots of climbing!
