Overall Difficulty: Moderate
This ride is on pavement and gravel roads.

This route is as flat as you can find in the RRG. Great scenery and hard-packed gravel roads (most of the time) which allow you to learn the feel of gravel riding, pothole avoidance, proper tire inflation for gravel riding vs normal road riding pressure, etc. From Indian Creek we'll ride pavement to Spaas Creek Road for some more gravel before turning around and heading back to Martins Fork.

Martins Fork Trailhead is the first trailhead on the left after passing through the Nada tunnel. In the event the parking is full, there are designated parking areas just up the road and another on the right just after crossing the iron bridge.


Recommended Rider Actions:
Emergency contact information should be carried with you
Have water, food, etc. for the ride
Spare tubes, tools, etc.
No crashies, no flatties, no whammies, and no whining.
