Haha, yep. That's a pretty crazy route. I've never strung them all together like that before, but Yellow Gap Road is a big climb and so is Bent Creek Gap Road. In fact, I'd probably ride that route the other way. Maybe ride roads to Brevard, get a coffee and a scone and then hit the gravel for the rest of the day.
