COURSE & TACTICS
DO NOT PARK IN THE FIRE STATION LOT. The same meeting point as Rice Hill Course, however, this course does not have the steep challenge of Rice Road. A secluded low traffic rolling course that starts with a quick descent down South Feddick Road, then rolling along Feddick and Shero Rd. Once back on Zimmerman you'll find a manageable grand back up to the start. The finish straight is a false flat section of road, but near the end, the tree-lined road opens up and you almost always are met with a stiff wind to deal with for the sprint to the line.
