Overall Difficulty:

Ride is strenuous to very strenuous due to the climbing in the Red River Gorge area.

 

Details:

Join us for a trip through the RRG "the easy way". From Slade to Pine Ridge on Hwy 15 and out to Sky Bridge avoiding the infamous climb to Sky Bridge. 

Back through RRG through the Nada Tunnel. Restrooms are available at trailheads. Gladie Visitor Center has not opened on Wednesdays yet so bring plenty of water. Optional 2 mile climb up to the Civilian Conservation Center on Tarr Ridge Road.

 

Two paces: slow B/C and a faster B/C. Faster folks always welcome.

 

*Lights recommended for the tunnel*.
