1. 300 km
2. Raleigh to Charlotte. Return on the train.
3. Raleigh to Richmond (better is Ashland, VA - some 20 miles farther north).
4. Mountain rides.
5. "Mountain Boy" thinks he wants to do some mountain riding in the winter. (Pilot, Sauartown, Hanging Rock?)
6. NC BR #4 west of Yanceyville.
6.a. NC BR #4 between Yanceyville and Roxboro. Or maybe go around the north side of Hyco Lake to Mayo Lake.
6.b. Option (6.a.) has 300k potential. It is only about 68 miles from PUE to Yanceville. 42 from Stovall to PUE. 77 from Y'ville to S'vall?
Looking forward to 1 through 6.
ReplyDeleteJust have to fit in a little marathon training along the way.

The Mallet is our resident expert on #2 - the cycling portion. I don't know what times Charlotte to Raleigh trains leave Charlotte.
ReplyDelete#3 is about 200 miles. That one really only works as a 2-day trip because trains heading toward Raleigh are morning and mid-day.
As for "train requirements," let's discuss that in person.
The Ral-Clt ride is approx. 170 miles from city center to city center.
