Assault on Mount Mitchell

The Assault on Mount Mitchell is an annual bicycling endurance contest in South Carolina and North Carolina first held in 1974. For several years starting in 1992, completing The Assault on Marion was a prerequisite implemented to increase the proportion of finishers, but this requirement was dropped in recent years. It spawned the Off-Road Assault on Mount Mitchell, which has taken place since 1999. The record-holder for the most number of consecutive finishes is 29 (as of 2009), held by Michael H. Davis.
