The 50K sees all NEW gravel and roads for this year, its a great route and is no joke, but the 100k gets this plus will enjoy the classic Equalizer loop through Warrenton and the most awesome creek crossings from last year!
Regardless all get the opportunity to hammer the fast road sections peppered by limestone gravel through the rolling countryside of Marthasville and Warrenton through the Aid stations and checkpoints back into racers village for a CX style finish.
