Started driving north and stopped in Newport, VA to do another climb. Newport is the starting point of the Mountains of Misery Century held yearly in late May. The MOM has over 10000 feet of climbing over the 103 mile course. I've done it two or three times along with the Wilderness Ride, a metric century held the day before the MOM. The finish of the MOM is a 3 mile long category 1 climb with 18% grade up Doe Creek road to Mountain Lake where I was told Dirty Dancing was filmed. I didn't climb Doe Creek today but opted for the Clover Hollow loop and the Mountain Lake Road which is a five mile climb with a reasonable 5-7% grade. Legs still are not responding well so I just had an enjoyable ride spinning up them coasting down the hill. Noticed on the MOM website that it is already filled up for this year. Would highly recommend the Mountains of Misery to anyone who likes to climb. I think it is the only ride I've been on that you need to earn your T-shirt, as you don't get it until you finish the ride at the top of the mountain.
