Just got this from a friend of mine that rode the bike course a few weeks ago.
0-8 miles River Rd - flat & smooth
8-9 Wolf Pen Branch - first significant hills
9-18 Rt 42 - more gradual, but longer hills
18-28 Rt 1694 out and back - flat then great descent into the valley
(42 mph
), but biggest climb out. Then you do a u-turn and head back to Rt 42. The return up hill out of the valley is harder than the first.
28-31 Rt 42 - more gradual hills
31-36 Rt 393 - a couple significant hills
36-43 Rt 146 - not too hilly until the end, a downhill just before Ballard School Rd
(fast turn
)
43-46 Ballard School Rd - narrow rd, steep short hills, toughest section
46-47 Sligo Rd - few medium hills
47-50 L'Spirit Rd - few medium hills
50-51 Rt 153 - fairly flat
51-62 Rt 42 - more gradual, but longer hills, a little rough pavement until Rt 393
62-93 Rt 393...do another loop back to Rt 42
93-112 Rt 42 back to Wolf Pen Branch & River Rd, there are more downhills than uphills the last 30 miles, I was able to pick up the pace quite a bit
good luck to all doing IMKY!
