Course Information:
50ish miles of dirt, mud, gravel and paved roads. Although the course is roughly 85% gravel roads, it’s laid out to be FAST, so don’t expect a whole lot of steep climbs or crazy descents. Do expect potholes, loose gravel and maybe a critter crossing here and there.

This is a fast course! the route will take you over dirt and paved “state roads” around Ashtabula county in Northeast Ohio. Road conditions may include; potholes, deep gravel, mud, black top, horse apples and maybe a piece of road kill or two. Leave your skinny tires at home and maybe bring the cross bike, it maybe the best tool for the job, but bring whatever you think is the best for you.
