Our suggested training routes are mapped out with ridewithgps.com.
Take care with the cue sheets there – they’re not always 100% accurate. Our own suggested rides are mapped by ‘Brutal guru’ as the submitter, but there are many other rides out there to try. If you want to find other rides, search on that site with keywords such as Ashe, West Jefferson, BRB, Brutal. Have fun!
The Blue Ridge Brutal is not for the faint of heart. All of the Rides—100, 70, 50 or 25 miles—take you through the Blue Ridge mountains and over many hills. However, you can mix the pain with the joy of riding through some of the most beautiful scenery in North Carolina.
