Looks like another tough route in store for next year. The race received HC status so we should see some decent competition.
I was there on Brasstown last year (cold and snowing). That's one hard climb considering Hogpen came right before it. On the steepest part spectators were actually pushing the riders up.
Anybody know if they are having the amateur race up Brasstown this year? I believe last year it was a hundred miles, hitting ****'s, Unicoi and Hogpen Gap along the way.
