ORAM is the word on the street. Tis' the season. The buzz is in the air.
This Sunday, Southeastern cities riders converge at the foot of the tallest mountain east of the Mississippi for a soul searching ride fraught with mind altering climbs. Last year I rode the 63 miles of trail and logging road through the Grandfather Ranger District of Pisgah National Forrest in 7 hours 59 minutes and a few seconds, just under my goal time of 8 hours. This years race has been extended to 70 miles, and we are rolling to the start line with a big posse again. Team Yazoo will be showing the big numbers with riders from Nashville, Knoxville and Chattanooga.
I may be going to hell in a bucket; but at least I am harvesting the ride.

Actually Thomas it’s the “Grandfather Ranger District” of Pisgah. Linville Gorge is a River at about mile marker 315 on the BRP we cross the BRP at about mile marker 350 during ORAMM. Linville is an incredible site and one of the finest hicking destinations I know of. It is also the premier White Water run in the eastern US (15 miles of continuous class 5+) only run by the absolute best paddlers in this part of the country.
Thanks, I made the correction.
