Route Summary

A mixed gravel and road route. Starting from Huntley Meadows, we sneak over Hopson to get to Rt. 5. Heading south, we cross the White River to follow Old River Rd., both the road and gravel sections. Don’t be tempted to climb Costello! At the end of Old River Rd we turn right to descend through the exciting S-curves. Tigertown is a long gravel, tree-covered, stream-adjacent climb. After the shock of the short but steep Chapel Hill, we are rewarded by the long descent of Beaver Meadows.

Description

Inspired by this week’s UVWCC route, but starting from Huntley Meadows. The route has two long stretches of gravel, on Old River Rd and Tigertown. Tigertown is one of my favorite climbs. It is a long, steady climb, flanked by a stream and covered in trees. No sweeping views, but still delightful.
