Description:
Don’t let the distance of this ride fool you. While 19 miles may not sound like the longest ride, this is definitely not an easy one.
With multiple climbs averaging over 5% and one even topping 8% it certainly packs a punch. Luckily, with lots of climbing comes lots of good views and great downhills and this route is no exception. You’ll have plenty of time to take it in as you grind up Center Fayston to Kew Vasser Rd past postcard views. Make sure those brakes are tested before the descent! Marble Hill Rd is another big climb with a great singletrack reward at the top. Most of the descents on this ride are paved, making it particularly smooth.
