The route follows mountain rivers and climbs and descends steeply graded inclines that require low gearing and solid brakes. If you’re strong enough to handle the challenges of this ride, you will be rewarded with stunning scenery on low traffic roads that are generally well maintained.
The route has been broken into three segments, each covering approximately 250 miles.
