It’s a go! It’s a Saturday and the 4th, so no excuses!

Track: https://www.plotaroute.com/routeplayer/3020310

5:AM IOOF Park Downtown Gunny.

It’s a hard ride. 60 miles, lots of ups and downs, more rocks than you can shake a stick at! It’s also gorgeous and some quiet country, with some amazing riding in the chunk.

Self supported, bring everything you might need, water, filter?, lots of food and raincoat? And lots of motivation!

Fastest time is about 7:20 which is silly fast, most folks take 9-12 hours to complete the figure 8. Plan accordingly.

Route: Starts with 5 miles of pavement, leading to good gravel road, lost canyon road, begin to climb. Climb up up out of the sage and into the trees. When Lost hits One Mile find you first singletrack, Fast Cow!

Plummet on this raw cow/moto trail for about a mile, T into One Mile Road, turn right and up. After about a mile look for Beaver/McIntyre trail on the left, ride to McIntyre, descend McIntyre to Alder, turn left and climb Alder to Willow Creek Rd. Descend but just for about .3 of a mile, look for Bear Gulch on left, faint and sign hidden.

Take Bear to Gold Creek Road, nice road, turn left and climb, gets bit rougher towards top. Fossil Ridge Trail, the big bad and ugly, be ready, be careful! Fossil Al the way back to Beaver/McIntyre, up One Mile back to Lost Canyon. Descend for about .5 of mile, look for b road on left with grey gate, Old CT Spur trail. Then dirt road jamming along Signal Mesa, follow the track!

Signal trails, Northwoods, shoelace, ridge Rasta, contour back to town. Finish back at IOOF park, take a selfie, send to me and you are done!
