I don't know anything about Pisgah, but when the climbs are shorter and more frequent the climbing adds up faster. For example, my old course back in the midwest was only 7 miles long but had 1,700 ft of climbing per lap....thought it only came in 200 foot intervals.Carneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07009028297645353304noreply@blogger.com
