The road well traveled…
- After re-crossing the Susquehanna, the route returns to York.
- The next 60 miles are on quiet, country roads with modest rollers.
- Riders cross the Mason-Dixon Line again into Maryland.
-
Thirty miles from the end you will cross the Potomac again to re-enter Virginia and encounter the biggest climb of the day, about 500′ of elevation over 5 miles.
-
The final miles feature Virginia wine country and some easy trail riding.
GRAND FINISH IN LEESBURG!
