While some of us Bubba’s will be suffering in Boone, NC at the annual Blood Sweat & Gears the rest of you can suffer on this oldie but goodie. Roll from Falling Water Elementary at 8:30 and head north to climb Retro Hughes and descend Leggett and back to Falling Water. Smoke will be the ride leader so be nice. 58.8 miles and 3,100 ft. Strongmen can throw another climb up Hotwater if desired.
