This ride starts from the Visitor's Center at the top of Hanging Rock Mountain. Which is Northeast of Winston-Salem. For more information, consult the "Hanging Rock Triple Hump (Ride Guide)". The return trip from Pilot Mt. on this route is different from the one described in the "ride guide". The route passes south of Sauratown Mt. and Hanging Rock, offering spectacular scenery. Note that the mileage for each segment on the return trip may not be exactly accurate. The store, just north of King on NC66, was very nice. It's on the left at ~m44. Total vertical climbing on this route, without repeating the climbs on any of the mountains, is 7350' or ~118'/mile.
