This past Sunday Bradley Ungarait, Brian Lee and Brent Lester did the old "Challenge" route from Oak Ridge to the BRP. Brad and Brent are training for the Shenandoah 100 taking place over Labor Day weekend. Brian was out seeking his pain threshold riding his second century in two days!
121 miles, ~14000ft of climbing, great fun! Some of the best roads I have ridden on in the Danbury area of NC. From Hanging Rock to VA, the roads were eerily quiet, something I'm not used to in the Triad. Tight, twisty mtn roads and only cars to slow you down on the descents...

Virginia Border...what you can't see is the "friendly" Doberman just a few feet away...waiting for our return down the mtn! Brian's assertation he was a "friendly" dog proved correct...only when we were standing there not moving!
The impending doom lurking in the distance. 10% grade for 3.3 miles
They didn't even break a sweat!
The three Amigos as someone liked to call us at the BRP! The climb was worth the 10 degree difference. Funny when 80 and a breeze feels cool at 2600ft
Hey Eric...we were in Bordeaux
