Duke Forest Gravel from Cocoa Cinnamon Lakewood (Intermediate / Advanced)
Details
Spring Classic Edition in honor of Roubaix, so we'll be hitting the famous local climbs of Couchberg and Congretebridgeburg twice, and the cobbled Trouée d'Oxford thrice.
Goal for the Spring Classic edition is going to be a nice, spirited pace, faster than 15mph average, we'll aim to rotate on the pavement.
3x Oxford Cobbles
2x concrete bridge climb
2x up couch mountain
Also Sinai but that's not the hard part of this ride
Final run up Trouée d'Oxford to the summit of Couchberg is the virtual finish. Winner gets Churros and Ice cream from Cocoa Cinnamon on me.
We will stop for mechanicals but this is a drop ride.
Be aware that there's fresh, deep gravel on Gate 3 to 7 road.
If you want to join from the Chapel Hill side, we will be at the north entrance of Concrete Bridge Rd, from Mt Sinai, at 10:10 or so. please RSVP accordingly.
