Brasstown Bald Buster Century 2008
Here is my review of the Brasstown Bald Buster Century that took place on May 17th. Thanks to Gapowermike for answering all my questions regarding this ride. One word to describe it - epic!

Great report. I'm glad they treated you well. I sure miss that I didn't get to go this year but I wasn't ready.
I'm glad you had a good time. How many riders were there?

I didn't wait around for the final results (I had a 2 hour drive) but I heard they had 90 signed up for the century and over 150 total. There were several tri-bikers who signed up for the 80 but were still riding up Hogden and then back to Helen (roughly 90 miles); then they went on a 10 mile run! crazy.
