Map

25 mile route… takes you through gently rolling hills. A quick, invigorating ride!

52 mile route… shows off our lush forests and the rural communities that dot the area.

72 mile route… is our most popular ride! Provides a scenic view of three counties including an iron bridge crossing! Recommended for the experienced cyclist.

102 mile route… wonderfully hilly ride that winds through many small hamlets with names like Sweet Union and Atoy – plus a finish you’ll never forget. Should be attempted by the experienced cyclist only.
