NC Mountains

[.o0 0o.]

I started my riding life in Wilmington (read=flat). Now I live in Raleigh
(read=rolling hills) and love the hills. This summer I want to ride some
mountains. What are some good ones to start on and what are some of the
more difficult ascents? Also, I have a wife and two kids so not having to
drive far is a big bonus.

TIA

Head on up to Boone and there some great riding there. There are a few bike shops in the area and they can get you hooked up with some good routes. One of my favorite is to head out from Blowing Rock and ride up to Grandfather Mountain

I understand Asheville has a pretty large cycling community.

I thought that they were petite and drop-dead knockouts! No one who
bicycles long in the mountains of NC will be 'large' (if that means obese).

Correction: There are apparently a great many (per capita) cyclists in
Asheville.
