Southern Appalachian Five
Five riding regions, no road ridden twice: north into the Virginia highlands, south along the Tennessee border, and back over the Cherohala. If you are flying the Atlantic, this is the one.

The bikes, and whether you'll fit them
Three models, two of each. Seat height is the thing that decides your trip, so it's on every card — and you reserve the machine you want rather than a category.
