If anyone is looking for a challenge on the 4th of July, you will find it here. http://myemail.constantcontact.com/Fabulous-4th-Bike-Tour----Some-Swag-for-2014-.html?soid=1116532064770&aid=x_kJEgAaS0A  I love this route and the whole town of Tryon comes out to cheer you on. It is NOT an easy ride but the best things in life aren't always easy.
