The course is 49 miles with 5,577 feet of vertical gain with 82% of the course being unpaved. Cyclists are responsible for navigating the course. There will be one water stop on the course. Entrants will receive Endurance Society swag and a finishers award. A unique award will be presented to the top 3 in each category.
The event is self-navigated and there will be no markings on the course. We recommend Ride with GPS phone app but we'll also provide a cue sheet.
All participants will receive chili and cornbread and there will be a vegan option at the finish.
The venue will also be selling food and refreshments for friends and family AND the chairlift will be running for anyone interested in a scenic ride to the top of the mountain to enjoy the peak foliage. The Endurance Society will also be hosting a Fell Race (5K and 10K) the same day. We look forward to enjoying a gorgeous fall day and we hope you'll join us!
