Course Description

You’ll do a short small climb up to state Rt 183 and turn right. From there, we’ll have ½ mile flat straight away to the first GRAVEL section. You’ll enter through Cyclocross gates with ribbon to a doubletrack GRAVEL climb. This will eventually drop down into the sand and Gravel pit area, and then funnel into the abandoned towpath. At the end of the towpath, you’ll take a hard right and head towards the equestrian park.

Lake Mohawk

Just before Mohawk, you’ll navigate a cool doubletrack gravel lane around a private property, which is actually a school for special needs kids. They’re excited to have our route go through the property. I’ll have information if anyone cares to donate to their cause!! Once you enter Mohawk, you’ll have a 1.8 mile pavement section following West Mohawk drive, which turns into East Mohawk dr.

Atwood Lake

We’ll be Crossing through the Atwood Lake PAVED walking path. It is very scenic and unique. PLEASE USE CAUTION through this section, as it does present some technical turns on GRAVEL. After Atwood, you’ll climb back into Gravel country, and work your way back to Magnolia and then finish behind the nursery on the gravel lanes through the Evergreens.
