Courses:

Long Course - 72 Miles https://ridewithgps.com/routes/35165811

Short Course - 42 Miles https://ridewithgps.com/routes/35166156

Details: This is NOT an event or a race. We are pre-riding the courses as a group. The Sumter Forest Course has a unique blend of hills, flat terrain, difficult gravel, and even a couple of underpasses of Interstate 26. Knowing the course and gauging where to use those efforts is going to be very beneficial on the March 13th event day! 

For the most part we will try and keep the group together, however this is NOT a "no drop" ride. You are expected to download the courses and be able to ride back to the start area. We will have a few spirited attack zones and will regroup after those harder efforts. 

This is simply a group ride so show up and have fun. There are no results or food at the finish.

There is also no cost to ride. Just show up and have fun!
