The Assault on Morrow Mountain is back for 2024 with a special one-time-only ride, the 3rd "Last One." Now in its 18th season, AoMM attracts a wide range of cyclists from around the Carolinas. You'll enjoy quiet country roads and beautiful scenery on this 64-mile route from Locust, NC, to the top of Morrow Mountain and back. This is the best "un-supported" ride you will ever do. We provide route files, printable cue sheets, radio-dispatched SAG support, two water stops, lots of encouragement, and an ice-cold Coke at the finish.
Ride Distance: 64 miles.
