Would you ride BCC?

I haven’t and it just seems like suicidal grill up the ass death wish.

Anyway I hate driving to ride so I was thinking of starting from home, Mill D and over to Mill Creek. How bad are the cars from a riders perspective?

Tons do it every day. I did it once, when I couldn't find a shuttle from the bottom of millcreek. There's definately lot's of traffic depending on time and day of the week. In hindsight, yeah the cars come very close to you, as last years death confirmed, but the brake dust is what really bugged me. It's a sufferfest, I probably won't do it again on my mountain bike.

Of course, you're also talking about riding up mill D. That would be far more scary to me, due to the fast and unstopable downhill bike traffic. Personally, If I wanted to feel that pain again, I'd ride up from millcreek and do the crest as an out and back.

Have fun

BCC isn't a bad or an overly brutal ride. It is a long climb with a few steep sections but most are followed by a flatter section. LCC is the brutal ride. I've only ridden up any of these on the road bike but the mtb will give some relief on the steeper sections. Of course adding Mill D onto it will make it a challenge to say the least. The cars are usually not a big deal. Just try to move over further whenever you hear one coming. Have fun.
