Ah, yes, thanks John! Definitely have to be careful – especially for hunters but I haven’t ever run into anybody up there so I’m thinking they must use it rarely. Probably best to stay away from it during hunting season, though.

Brian,
I believe I was the one that told you I had found that road on my BMW motorcycle and happened to catch the gate open one day. I’m glad to know you’ve been enjoying it. I certainly is beautiful up there. Be careful as that is EBSCO property. I don’t know how they would view cyclists crashing the gate.

Oh yes, I’ve definitely thought about it. The thing that has made me nervous about it trying it is that it looks entirely dirt from bottom to top with the entrance right across from somebody’s house. I can see potential dog problems with whoever’s house that is, and I’m not sure what the three mile descent on dirt would be like. The fun thing about the Double Oak Way climb is that so much of it is paved. It’s only the last 3/4 mile that is dirt. Having said all this, I definitely want to try it some day!
