Climbing: 75 feet per mile
​Description: A moderately hilly ride, this route includes a number of rollers but no major climbs. A 1.5 mile (each way) out-and-back section at mile 6 turns around at a ford over Buck Mountain Creek; don’t be tempted to try to ride across, as the ford is a bit too deep.
