The course utilizes an out and back/loop format with a loop at the far end of the route. Although some paved roads are necessary, the vast majority of the course will be on gravel and dirt roads. Some of these roads receive little to no maintenance and can change drastically after heavy rains and/or snowfall. Riders are encouraged to be fully prepared for any and all conditions. The route is remote therefore will include signage to help prevent riders from getting off course.
