Blue Ridge Brutal

[Gray Gato]

Has anyone done the Blue Ridge Brutal?
We're looking for a ride to prepare us for the Utah National Parks in late Sept.

I don't know anything about it, and just looked at the website, but they have a gorgeous jersey! I like their idea of not covering it with corporate sponsers.

Nanci, that might be a mock-up. My 6-Gap jersey was covered with sponsors, although the one online didn't have a single sponsor on it. I even called and questioned it, saying I wanted one like they had in the picture. No luck there.

This ride looks gorgeous - it's just too far from Atlanta to make the drive. Do a google on it, and you'll find some good ride reports from earlier years.

No, it says "The final design may vary slightly from the above mockup, but...NO we will not be loading the jersey up with corporate sponsors. The memory of the ride shouldn't be a billboard!"

I think that's cool!

I've never done the blue ridge brutal, but I HIGHLY recommend "Hurt Pain and Agony". It was the most beautiful ride I have EVER done. It was also wicked hilly.
