Smile Event Rides

Can anyone recommend some really great single day event rides in the US. I have done The Assault on Mt. Mitchell in North Carolina and the Triple Bypass in Colorado. Looking for other similar sufferfests.

Well, they are over for the year, but the STP in Seattle. Its a double century, and lots of guys do it in one day. There's a ride in the Portland, Oregon area called the Torture 10,000. Ten thousand feet of vertical in just over a century. They might fit the bill

I have heard of the STP, but not the Torture 10,000. Being somewhat of a masochist, I love the sound of it. Thanks

I have been looking at this event for a couple of years now. It will have to be accomplished at some point. Need to do it while I am still relatively young.

Well - it's a little late, but the 6 gap century in Dahlonega, Ga is this weekend. It is a century with over 10000 feet of vertical. It is usually the last weekend of Sept. Check out their website and plan on next year.

Thanks, it looks like a real challenge, maybe we will see you there next year.
