We’ll do a formal announcement after the New Year, but we have chosen Saturday, April 29, 2017, for the #BrutalLoop 3.0! Go ahead and mark your calendars.
If there are enough people staying overnight, I’d like to lead another ride on Sunday either on the Stanley Gap trail in Blue Ridge, or at the Tanasi trails just over the border in Tennessee.
Here’s some coverage of the route:

With Tanasi, you get to end on the high note of Thunder Rock. With Stanley Gap, you just send someone out to gather up the lungs lost during the ride 🙂

Sweet, SSM will be there grunting and cursing to the top of Mountain Town again.

Wow, not that far from Chattanooga and in the general area of where we’ll be at that time. Might have to make a go of this.

Mulberry Gap is a pilgrimage to mountain biking Mecca. I cannot recommend it enthusiastically enough. I recommend a two-day stay, riding the Brutal Loop (or maybe just Bear Creek and Pinhoti 1-2) on Day One, and Pinhoti 3-4-5 to Dennis Mill (this requires shuttle service back to Mulberry Gap) on Day Two.
Either way, bring your lungs, and save yourself some trouble by hitting the weight room NOW so you don’t suffer so much in April.

@schwim yeah, no matter which way you choose to ride Stanley Gap, it’s going to hurt. A lot.
@evenslower hell yeah! Looking forward to sharing some whiskey at the overlook! -
Whiskey…..check!!!
and concur on Stanley, fun place but bring your big boy pants.
