This is our inaugural event so we are trying to keep things simple, creating a fun family event as compared to a highly competitive elite race event. There will be no awards or podium celebrations, as having fun together as a community is the focus.
Gordon is a township that covers 157 Sq. mi with only 770 permanent residents. The route has been mapped to not cross County or State highways that border the township, excluding crossing Hwy Y east of Gordon near race end. The course is 53.75 miles in distance, climbing 2,500 ft of total elevation. It will be safe, quiet, and interesting, and would be rated as moderate in relation to difficulty. The ride will include approximately 5 miles of pavement in 4 different sectors including the 2.5 mile start roll out. Surfaces will be a mixed bag of good gravel, good sand/gravel mix, hard pack loamy sand with very few spots of navigable sugar sand. The course has been decided upon based on the least problem with sugar sand and using the best gravel roads and trails in the area.
