Long Course Details
Long Course Details (74 Miles / 7,600 Vertical Ft.)
A mix of pavement and gravel will take you to St. Paul where you can re-supply at the General Store NEXT to Dollar General. We ask that you support the long-time General Store as things have gotten tough for them since Dollar General opened. A little further east you’ll turn south on CR112 and immediately cross the White River Swimming Hole where the controversial Sheriff Ralph Baker was swept to his death while driving across the bridge during a flood in ‘93 – accident or not? (For a can’t-stop read check out ‘When Money Grew on Trees’, for a “grower’s” perspective of the Baker story and a bunch of history about the area where you’ll be pedaling.)


There you can High-5 your peeps because you’re a few short miles of pavement back to Byrd’s.
Long Course CUT OFF Time – You MUST average at least 10mph for the day – If you do not arrive at mile 20 (Intersection of CR76 and CR77) in 2 hours, you will be asked to divert to the short course. If you do not arrive at the Summit Aid Station in 4 hours (37 miles), you will be asked to divert to Fane Creek Rd back to hwy 23 then east on 215 to Byrd’s.
