Gravel

Climb out of SoRo on Oxbow, then a gradual climb up Broad Brook to East Barnard.  The big Allen Hill climb with a steep bit right at the top.  Up Skyline and down Webster Hill to a paved descent on the Pomfret road to South Pomfret.  Five miles of pavement to Abacadabra coffee on Wayside road.  Up Wayside and the connecting roads to 12, and then South Perry which becomes a Class 4.  Off Perry onto Stage which bacomes the long Royalton Turnpike descent, and Back River and North Windsor bring us back to South Royalton.  Refuel at the Worthy Burger!

Two pave sections. Second one you need to pay attention it goes from Barnard  to Bartlett Brook Rd.. Easy to get off trail so be sure you follow your computer.  Coffee break at Abracadabra Cafe at about mile 15.  If we need more supplies we can stop in Pomfret.

One trail down Bradley to Patrel Also watch the washed out road through Union Village.

Up the Bragg Hill -Beaver Meadow climb to warm up. Then Downer, the camp class 4, and up Cross to Brook.  Down Ames(has some bumpy bits) and into South Strafford, then up Downer Forest to the State Forest roller-coaster down.  Beaver Meadow back to the start.

Hilly route w/ one pave.

All Gravel

Classic UV gravel featuring some class IV adventure.

Gravel loop beginning at Oak Hill with some light adventure.

This route is marked by long steady climbs on some lesser-traveled roads for SMGR.  Starting out in West Hartford, the route crosses the White River and begins the first long climb up Pomfret Road and Allen Hill Road, then descends into East Barnard.  Up East Barnard Road to Royalton Turnpike, then a turn onto North Perry Road into the first Class IV road (variable gravel, some adventurous terrain in the middle, with a ledgy descent) to South Perry Road.  From there, the route turns left onto Route 12 then the next left onto Lakota Road to climb Schoolhouse Hill.

One or two short pave sections.
