Agreed... that route would be challenging for a lot of people with over 6 miles of consistent climbing at over 6% gradient. Some of my friends used it to train for the 70.3 Worlds in Nice this year.there are certainly some challenging IM 70.3 course. IM 70.3 st george comes to mind. so maybe the blue ridge one can become a "destination" race. I always worry that they won't be able to find enough people who want a challenging course.
