Well, I've been up to the top of the tallest mountain in Tennessee. Clingman's Dome is almost 6700 ft. tall. Here I am at the top, having pedaled up 20 miles from the Sugarview Visitor's Center, starting at 1700 ft. People thought I was nuts for biking up. Lucky they didn't follow me on the way down! I was screaming! Speed limit was 30 mph thru many of the tight turns, but I was cornering at 35 mph, hitting 40+ mph after the turns. Led a pack of cars for about 5 miles down, then pulled off to let them by. Got a lot of thumbs up. Beautiful country. The shocking thing was that I was the only road biker I saw the entire week I was in TN. What's up with that?
