82 Miles
This route is intended for those who wish to be challenged not only by the mileage, but from a total of 9500 ft of vertical climbing.  The two big climbs of the day are Alleghany Springs and Wades Gap Road (Cahas Mtn).  Wades Gap was part of the 1996 Tour DuPont, but they did not descend down the infamous "Wall".
