LONG RIDE
23.6km give or take with just shy of 600 meters of total ascent. All riders will start off on the same road section (vehicular traffic is low) until you reach a long/short split. Long riders will head off-trail and begin their gradual climb - consider this loop #1, you will eventually rejoin the short riders to continue onto loop #2. There is a bit of everything - single and double-track, fruit orchards, rutty descents if you're brave and a little section where lugging the bike will be necessary. We won't lie - with all the rain, there is a bit of mud to deal with but relatively mild.
SHORT RIDE
This is NOT a scenic ride and thus, not suitable for kids (sorry folks). Roughly 15.3km in distance and approximately 300 meters of total ascent. At the long/short split, you will continue on-the-road for a bit further until finally venturing off-trail onto loop #2. You will pass thru fruit orchards, be up-close-and-personal with a bird's nest enclosure and have some brilliant views to soak in.
IMPORTANT
NO HELMET, NO RIDE!!
Bring 3 liters of water and some energy snacks
No sweepers, if you go off-paper, you are on your own
Don't pick the fruits from the orchards puhleeze.
