| ROUTES
Map |
100
mile ride passes through 3 covered bridges. 100 kilometer/62
mile and 25 mile through 2 covered bridges.
Shorter rides are on scenic Pine Mountain roads.
The routes are challenging rides on hilly less traveled country
roads. Pavement varies from smooth to uneven. Routes open to
traffic. Routes well marked, maps &
cue sheets provided.
This century may be tougher than the "Toughest Ride in the
South"... 7500 feet of climbing vs. their almost 7000. Ride the "Cheaha" and the
"Covered Bridge" and tell us which is tougher.
Looking for a real challenge? The CENTURY+ option climbs 9500 feet over
116 miles. |
