Dettagli del percorso

One of our favorite lunch destinations is Original Gravity Brewing in Milan, Michigan. If you arrive early, you can grab a great cup of coffee from @poi[Milan Coffee Works](10531386) next door. This route features the gravel roads to the northwest of Milan, roads that begin to undulate with the terrain. Bethel Church Road is the highlight of the ride with fun rollers that can wear you down by the time you reach the church.

1. @slice[Leaving Milan via pavement. It's about 4.5 miles to gravel. Did you get that cup of coffee from Milan Coffee Works?](d,0,7768.54)
2. @slice[Flat gravel until you hit Route 12.](d,7862.45,15361.07)
3. @slice[Make a safe left onto Route 12. The shoulder is wide, so this short section on pavement isn't all that bad.](d,15380.73,17244.49)
4. @slice[Almost to Bethel Church Road!](d,17323.57,21145.7)
5. @slice[The highlight of this route is the undulating Bethel Church Road. It's 5 miles in length with few hundred feet worth of short, punchy climbs. ](d,21145.7,29976.15)
6. @slice[A brief rest on pavement with a left turn for more gravel. Caution on the left turn, there is often traffic on this road.](d,29976.15,30761.27)
7. @slice[More gravel with brief sections of pavement through Bridgewater and Benton. There are some small hills, but mostly it is just a scenic ride through the countryside.](d,30955.94,51522.96)
8. @slice[It's all down hill from here, an easy ride on pavement back to Original Gravity for lunch.](d,51664.24,59429.48)

# Considerations

We have ridden this route in all weather conditions year-round. As is typical for Michigan gravel roads, there will be potholes and washboard.
