Are you sure that’s the profile for the
Brasstown Baldbuster Century (as opposed to the old SBL ride called
Brasstown Baldbuster)? I remember a lot more climbing on the former. The hardest climb of Six-Gap is Hogpen Gap – which, on the BBC, is only the warm-up before Jacks Gap with the extension up to the top of Brasstown Bald.
