This is not a ride for the faint of heart. The total vertical gain is 4,976 feet. Most of that is done on 637 a few miles south of Shawsville, as you climb the backside of Poor Mountain. But there's also some climbing to do on the parkway, before you get to the 6-mile descent down Bent Mountain.There's a convenience store along U.S. 11/460 on the right soon after you turn off Duiguids. There's also a convenience store/Citgo on the right side of 460 in Shawsville. Load up with liquids here, because there's a long climb ahead.There's another store at the intersection of 610 and 221. This is the last one on the ride.

Best format for turn by turn directions on Edge 500. Will provide true turn by turn navigation on Edge 800 including custom cue entries. Great for training when we release those features. Not currently optimal for Virtual Partner.
Useful for any GPS unit. Contains no cuesheet entries, only track information (breadcrumb trail). Will provide turn by turn directions (true navigation) on the Edge 605 and 705, but will not have any custom cues. Edge 605/705 users follow these instructions.
Only the cuesheet entries, not the entire track. Useful for the Garmin Edge 205, 305 and Edge 500 for turn notifications (turn by turn directions)
Only the cue sheet. You can print it from Excel or another spreadsheet program.
