Did this route and added on a small 6 mile segment of mtb trail at the south most point near lake. There is about 10 miles in total on road for this route. I'd recommend doing the loop backwards so there are more road uphills and gravel downhills. The gravel on east side of loop is no joke, steep and thick double track! Awesome ride. Took me just shy of 6 hours.

Hi Tommy, I love your route but I'm more skilled at working in ride w gps. This says 100% gravel but i see you are on 181 at times etc. Do you have the same route in ride w gps. I thought in gravel map all gravel roads show up as yellow, but obviously in your route here its light blue and overrides that rule; i guess? Any help would be awesome. John Taylor
