Details:

The weekly reverse route through the Red River Gorge, the "easy" way. Join Mark for the 35-mile route - the standard, or join Bena on the faster paced 46-mile route which adds nice riverside riding with no additional hills, and cuts out the climb through Nada Tunnel.  *There is a 1.5 mile section of the 46 mile route that is hard-packed limestone and gravel - please keep in mind.* ALWAYS ride with lights, but especially bring a headlight if you plan to ride through the Nada Tunnel.
