This is an amazing road race course that starts at Veterans Park & sends riders up an extended climb on Peach Valley Rd. At the summit, the course turns left and heads across the rollercoaster on Silt Mesa Rd. before hitting the fun and fast Mile Pond Loop. Older riders continue north on Peach Valley for additional climbing before hitting the Mile Pond Loop. After the Mile Pond Loop all riders climb back up Silt Mesa Rd before a thundering descent to the finish.
