72 hours in Tennessee

I spent the last three days in Tennessee with a friend and client of Cincicyclingcoach. We left Cincinnati around 11am on Wednesday and arrived in Gatlinburg around 4. We were o nthe bikes by 5 for a 90 minute 25 mile ride with a couple thousand feet of climbing. On Thursday we left around 9:30 on a 100 mile, 10,000' of climbing ride that took us from Gatlinburg (1400') to Newfound Gap (5050') to Cherokee, NC (1600'), back to Newfound Gap and then to Clingmans Dome (6300'), back to Sugarland with a trip through Elkmont and then back to the chalet. We were on the bikes for just under 6.5 hours. On Friday we rode the Foot Hills Parkway from Townsend to US 129 where we rode the infamous Dragons Tail to Deals Gap. We took the same route back for about 65 miles and another 6500' of climbing. Today we hiked 9 miles around the Cades Cove Loop before heading back to Ohio. My faebook page has pictures of all the rides and the hike.
