Challenge the Mountains!

 

The Blue Ridge Brutal is Saturday, August 15.

Starting time will be 8:00 am. The ride tours two northwest North Carolina counties: Ashe and Alleghany and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Beginning and ending at the foot of Mount Jefferson in West Jefferson, North Carolina, the ride offers 100 miles of varied and challenging terrain.

 

The Ashe Civic Center is pleased to sponsor the Blue Ridge Brutal and welcomes riders to the region to enjoy the surrounding natural beauty. The Brutal is celebrating its 20th year in 2009 and acknowledges the many volunteers and riders over the years that have contributed to the success of the ride. The Brutal was started as a fundraiser for the Ashe Civic Center in 1990 and continues to use the proceeds to support community and school arts programming to benefit the surrounding area.

The Blue Ridge Brutal features three ride options: 50 mile, 75 mile, and 100 mile.

Riders go to the 2009 page for more information and online registration.  Thanks for your continued support of this ride and the Ashe Civic Center.

On-line registration available soon.
