hell fuck 2008

Last year, on the first Saturday after the summer solstice, Caleb Paquette and I initiated the First Annual Nolichucky Hell Fuck. The Hell Fuck started at my house in Johnson City with a 45 mile road bike ride to the top of Roan Mountain. The last 8 miles gained 3500 feet of elevation. At Carvers Gap we transitioned to a 25 mile run on the Appalachian Trail to Indian Grave Gap. A short downhill on TN 395 (we used cruiser bikes) brought us to the put in of the Nolichucky gorge. After running the gorge in long boats, we transitioned back onto road bikes for a 25 mile ride back home, completing the loop.
The Hell Fuck took me over 14 hours. It is the longest, most brutal event I have taken part in. This year the shit hits the fan on June 21st. If interested get in touch with me at herzog_adam@yahoo.com or 828 279 7230. If you would not want to attempt an Iron Man, this event is probably not for you.
