Adventure

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.

Mtb

In the spirit of Vermont Super 8, here is a gnarly class VI riddled route from Mascoma Lake out to Ruggles Mine. Bring extra supplies as stops are limited. Suggesting 40mm tires at a minimum. MTBs would not be the wrong bike for this route. Get ready for a crisp morning of gravel, friends, climbing, rocks, fall leaves, water, and some hike-a-bike. 

For those looking for a calmer route, please still come along because there is a beautiful alternative instead! Plenty of intersections and regroups!
