Ride starts and finishes at House of Coates on Sunday, August 23, 2015.

Ride Description:
Ride starts off from the House of Coates and goes into UMore Park taking riders past old buildings and 4 and 5-tower coal power plants that were once part of the Gopher Works Ordinance Plant during WWII. From there it takes riders into the Vermillion Highlands on gravel roads. Next up is the Minimum Maintenance Road that leads to a short ride on pavement followed by a long stretch of gravel. A 2-mile stretch of pavement brings riders to gravel again on Blaine Avenue which turns into a 1.8 mile stretch of "No Motorized Vehicles" doubletrack through the woods and fields of UMore Park. Finally, a half mile doubletrack "No Motorized Vehicles" road through the woods that puts riders out on Co. Rd. 46 for a one mile paved ride back to the House of Coates.

The downside of this course, currently (2021) is that much of the route goes through private property. Angus Ave is closed off with a "no trespassing sign," as is 165th/Asher, and a few other roads. While a fantastic ride (if you're willing to ignore "authorized personnel only" signs), much of this route is no longer accessible.
