The full COG gravel grinder

Gravel starts at about mile 6.6. There is a small section of road at the top of the hill (about 11.5) before descending to the marina. There is a small section of road at 15.7 and then there is all gravel till the top of the COG again at mile 30.6. The pavement side of the COG is a cat 3 climb. Several of the gravel climbs are cat 4 including the climb up the back side of the COG.

It is all gravel from the top of the COG and a short section of 78 heading west perhaps a mile or two. Then the rest is all gravel till you complete the loop and end up back at the summit of the COG.

Ride with GPS does not record the surface as being gravel when you ride the route.
