Up Stringtown, down Cedar Grove, then instead of Corbett take the nicer Piney Hill Rd to Monkton Rd. Followed by a little something different before we return Sparks Rd to Quaker Bottom. Break at mile 26 - Filling Station Cafe (Yummm) York Rd. 2,500 ft of climb - one of my favorites!

START: Caledonia State Park, PA -- Ride Terrain: Very Hilly, Ride Leader's Pace: 10 mph, Regrouping: Frequent, Rest Stops: Snack, Rain Cancellation: Precipitation >60%,
My annual posting of a mostly gravel ride in Michaux State Forest. I've not gotten any takers yet but I figure I'll get some eventually. Quite hilly with 5500' of elevation gain over 52 miles. First 13 miles are quite hilly and then it gets easier. There is a very short section of double track, otherwise mostly fire/back dirt roads Lunch/snack at mile 35 in Pine Grove Furnace, home of the famous 1/2 gallon ice cream challenge for AT thru hikers (free if you eat all the ice cream in 30 minutes I think). I use 700x42 tires but you could get by with thinner tires.
Park in the gravel parking lot on Pine Grove Furnace Rd (Rte 233) just north of Lincoln Hwy (Rte 30) near Caledonia State Park in Pa (Caledonia Furnace Monument & Thaddeus Stevens Trailhead).

BBC Traditional Ride: Join the Accountants and Tax-payers for the Red Rum Ride:
First 18 and last 15 is very gentle. The rest is tough for April 18th. Six mile climb over South Mountain at mile 18 (very hard-lots of 14% grades) and then a two mile climb back over the another side of the mountain. The six mile climb is one of my favorites and almost traffic free.
2019 Revision has break at mile 34.6 at Sheetz which tends to replace the stop at Rockys. Especially after the freezing rain experience in 2016(?). Reformatted cuesheet for 2019.
Rain (or extreme winds) date is April 19th-the next day at the same time.
Download .zip has both pdf and garmin course files.
