# Notes

* Lovely throughout riding season, but extremely beautiful views in the fall!
* At least 32mm tires recommended to get by on some of the rougher gravel (and mud if it's wet)
* Riders should be able to climb semi-steep grades, and feel comfortable riding on gravel roads
* Water, food, and bathrooms all available at the beginning of the route, services are relatively sparse throughout.
