COURSE & TACTICS
This is our biggest course in terms of overall size. One lap is 26 miles. The start/finish straight is filled with hills that will tire you out. At turn 1, you make your way onto Rt. 77 which is typically windy and mostly a false flat type of grade with a few mild inclines. At turn 2, you make your way onto Rt. 78 and this is almost all downhill and fast, you then turn right (turn 3) onto Woodchuck Rd. which takes you to the final turn and the finish climb on 20A that finishes in front of EverFab. It makes for a long day in the saddle.
