Visual Vittles

Here's a repost of a May 16 -> 19, 2013 ride. I skipped some sections and abbreviated the ride, but it gives a good sampling of the terrain.

2014 Course Info

Below is the preliminary track for the 2014 course. There could be some slight changes, including a 13 mile reroute from the Old131 State Forest Campground to Fife Lake, rejoining the original trail at M-186. A final track and waypoint file will be available well in time for any spring attempts.

2014 Track - Final with Waypoints

Waypoint File Legend / Notes - Waypoint designations refer to the official NCT map numbers.  Mile markers are approximate.  Points off course are accounted for as on course miles.  At this time there are no mileage estimates for off course service deviations.
