Mountain Training Series #3 Three Mountains, 58mi, ~14 mph

Fall 2025 Mountain Training Series Ride #3: Three Mountains.....Pilot, Sauratown, and Hanging Rock.

If you are comfortable regularly riding 50-60 miles on our local roads at a pace of ~17+ mph and are interested in trying something more challenging, this could be for you. Multiple hydration stops and nutrition stops, regroups at the summit, riding together between climbs, and options to limit your ride to just 1 or 2 climbs is all part of the plan.

This route has the Pilot climb first. We will regroup at tops of climbs. Water at the top and bottom of Pilot. Hydration and fuel options before or after Hanging Rock.

Bathrooms available at the start.
