This is the 5 climb version of Grandmother with an alternate left a bit further down the descent of the climb after Spring Run. 78 miles with 7100' elevation gain. Tough climbs followed by great descents. Rest stops in Roxbury (mile 32), Spring Run (mile 41), and Cowans Gap State Park (mile 61) There are bail-out options after the 3rd and 4th climbs. On this ride, we typically will re-group at the top of each climb. Rain date is July 15th.

If you did Jeff Bankman's Skyland ride 2 weekends ago, this is the next step up!

mnferwerda As of today (Friday, 6/23) weather looks good so this ride is on. I will not have paper cue-sheets since I don't have a good format for printing them. If you need a paper cuesheet, please use the ridewithgps link to print 1 out.
