Description
Starting and Finishing at the Magnusson trails parking lot on Grey Mountain (2km from Alsek Rd), this event for solo riders or teams of 2, will put your full array of bicycle piloting skills to the test.
The Leg 1: The Gravel Appetizer (we like to call it the... grappetizer) will be an amuse-bouche of double track, proper gravel and some mild singletrack. Riders will take on the Yellow Brick Rd. climb followed by a short, fast descent on Grey Mountain Road to Rollercoaster. Yes. Rollercoaster. Probably the gnarliest sector of "gravel", Rollercoaster will lead you to Peewee Hill. From there, we'll connect you to Charburn Lake Rd. for some honest gravel action before returning up Grey Mountain Rd. to the exchange. LEG 1 ROUTE MAP.
The Leg 2: Mountain Main Course will take be a bit different than previous years. This time we'll be staying above Grey Mountain Rd and include some classic staples like Midtown, Go-T, Mother-T and finishing with a three-scoop sorbet of Magnusson trails (pink, red, green) with a side of Boogaloo.
