In June I am doing a one week supported tour from Cherokee, NC to Fancy Gap, VA along the Blue Ridge Parkway including a climb to the top of Mt Mitchell. Has anyone ever cycled this before? Any insight?

I am putting a 11-32 cassette on my compact (50-34 chain rings) giving me a 34-32 spinning gear for the 6+% grades. I ride about 150 miles per week but it's flat here in Houston (windy though). Any thoughts on the climbing?
