Additional details:

Wednesday night rides start at the Republic Middle School on Hines just west of Hwy 60 (Price Cutter is on the corner). It is arguably the hardest night and is definitely the longest at 35 miles. It also offers the most options with other rides of 32, 31, 27, 24, and 18 which only vary by which turn(s) you take coming back in. The various routes are great as you try and build your endurance but also work well with the shorter options available early in the spring and later in the fall when there is less daylight. These routes are our best kept secrets, but well worth the drive to Republic.

The traffic is very light and the roads are in good shape.

The 31 route goes north to Prospect Bridge at FR 43 while the 35, 32, 27 & 24 all go south to Hwy 266. The 31 mile has approximately 1160′ of ascent and 1183′ of descent.

All of the longer rides share a long, 4 stage climb of 6, 10, 14 and 7% going out and a short 15% coming back in (the 18 does not have the 15%, but does have a 10%). In between are a lot of rollers and several 6-8% grades.

Additional details:

The Beginner routes of 8, 10, 12 & 15 miles are available with a ride leader (when announced ahead of time on the private facebook group). Since all of them share a 10% grade 3 miles from the finish and the 15 mile also has a 12% grade midway, you may want to consider them more of an intermediate ride.

The intention in offering these loops was to make it easy to start small and keep building as the season progresses. They all share the first 4 miles of the ride with the longer options and also share the same finish. You can easily start the 24 mile, decide 9 miles in that it will be too much and turn it into an 18 mile and vice versa. Likewise, you can start the 15 and decide at 7 miles that you want to do the 24.
