This a 15 mi loop on mostly gravel (73% gravel). This is intended to be an introduction to a more challenging type of gravel conditioning ride. This is an introduction to the more strenuous types of conditioning rides. It presents a few challenges over what you would find on a rail trail ride: larger gravel, at least one steeper area that might require you to walk a short distance also with looser gravel. It will be more hilly than a typical rail trail and the terrain more varied. It's intended to be the next tier of challenge, but still designed to not be overly challenging so it can still be lots of fun. This is a mini version of the Tolt Pipeline Trail route known as Thrilla in Woodinvilla.
