    I rode up Brasstown Bald on the same day you posted this. I saw that you are #1 on Strava whereas I slotted in somewhere slightly over #1000. Your 1st video about North Georgia inspired me to give it a try since I live within sight of the mountain and I had not ridden up it in years. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Some great (and painful) memories coming back watching this. Have been in Rockies for past 20+ years but really cut my cycling teeth, both recreationally and racing, in the SE U.S. back in 90s/early 00s. Miss a lot of those great climbs. N. Georgia, Highlands/Cashiers area in SW NC and all along the spine of the lower Appalachian Mnts. Trees, thick undergrowth, fog, punchy climbs, moss covered rocky outcroppings... made for some amazing rides. Thanks for the post. 😎🤜🏻🤛🏻

    Phil, as always, great KOM dorkery!
    But, comparing to the intro music, which is like 5W/kg, your background music while grinding up those KOMs is way too chill!
    Drop some nice tunes on that so we can enjoy even more, while being lazy at the same time. :)
