My longest ride ever (and most elevation). Was originally planning on this being a two day bikepacking race but ended up just doing the whole thing on the first day. Would've been a lot easier without all the extra gear but hey, live and learn, added to the challenge I guess.
The route was very tough but the scenery was so good you hardly noticed. Lots of great riding and awesome people, this was the inaugural year for this event, about 60 people did it. 40 or so of us did this shorter 110 mile route, rest of the field was tackling either the 265 or 470 mile route. Some are still out there on day four now.
Route is linked below, but also check out mountaineer gravel on ride with gps and socials if you want some amazing routes of varying length and difficulty in northern WV. These guys have put in some serious work mapping out the area for gravel riding in general, not just this event.
