This is the maiden counterclockwise version of the route from 2025, featuring a lot of double track, class IV, and even a little light single track. Expect the pace to be slower than a typical SMGR, and since there are no stores along the way, we will plan to drop some water around mile 30. Bring all the food you might need for 5+ hours.
Folks can detour the single track section near mile 6 over Acorn/Pinnacle Hill in Lyme, by cutting over to Highbridge Road, and regroup with us where Franklin Hill Road and Acorn Hill Road intersect at mile 8.
Starting location is the ball field parking lot across from Rivendell Academy on Route 25a.
