    Park/start at The Hub and Backcountry Outfitters in Brevard.

    First 11.6 is pretty tame. Then sustained climbing starts for about 6 miles. Nothing too steep (maybe around 7% avg--but there are some short parts around 12%).

    The BRP is kind of boring to 151. Nothing steep to top of Pisgah, then down to 151. Two tunnels about 75m in length on the way, so bring a rear blinker. Good line of site.

    The descent on 151 is very very twisty and fun. Turn near the bottom and head back up. It's not a hard ascent.. The BRP back to top of Pisgah is mentally hard. Just boring, esp. after climbing 151, and kind of hurts.

    Weekends seems to bring out the car racers on these roads. Use caution.

    About the Calorie Calculator

    Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

    When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

    Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
