I'm back on Aiken Mine Road for the next 12 miles, which will drop from 4100 feet here down to about 3100 feet

It will be mostly downhill for the rest of the day, though I'll have a few uphills along the way. I hope the road isn't too rough, so I can enjoy at least some of the downhill effortlessly.
