The Blue Ridge Brutal features three ride options: 59 mile, 74 mile, and 100 mile. The Brutal will have six rest stops, three mussette stops for the fast pack, Ham radio communication, Ashe County Rescue Squad and SAG Wagon Support. Helmets are mandatory and all traffic regulations must be observed. No personal SAG wagons will be allowed. Blue Ridge Parkway Rangers reserve the right to ask riders to stop if there are safety concerns or issues.

Chips will be distributed Saturday morning from 6:15-7:45 AM. Rider must have a number (numbers will be in packets) to receive chip. To participate in ride, rider must have a chip. Chips will be collected at the finish line and non-returned chips will result in a charge to the rider.  Chip timing will be provided by Set-Up Events, Inc. Chip timing will be available for all three-ride options and the “Assault”. Times will be divided by ride, fiver year age increments, male and female.

For a few hardy souls who want to challenge the mountain, the Brutal is offering the “Assault on Mount Jefferson”. This option is available at no extra cost, but due to Mountain Jefferson State Park regulations, we can only offer it to twenty-five riders in the 100 mile or 75 miles ride.  ALL ASSAULT RIDERS WILL BE TRANSPORTED DOWN MOUNTAIN.
