Title: Paint Rock Coves-43
Route: Paint Rock Coves starting at Trenton
Distance: ~43.5 miles (~1737’ total elevation)
Start Location: Trenton Health Clinic, Trenton, AL (299 County Rd 106)
Date & Start Time: Saturday, Feb 11 at 10:00am
Ride Leader: Ernie Thomas, sethomas3@att.net, 256-520-8308
Description: This route starts at the Trenton Health clinic and travels through many of the coves and hollows of Paint Rock watershed. There are several hills/rollers with a cumulative climb of ~1737 ft but NO major climb. I expect the average pace to be around 15 mph, slower up hill and faster downhill.
Rest Stops: @ 19 & 30 miles. There are three out and backs so the ride can be easily shortened if desired. If the last turn (onto county Rd #20) is skipped, the distance will be 35.2mi.
Route and cue sheet can be found at the following webpage: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/18886651
We will regroup at the turn arounds on several of the coves.
If individuals ride faster than the specified pace or deviate from the route then they are on their own.
Each participant is expected to bring a cue sheet and/or map, or loaded GPS and have the phone number of the Ride Leader as well as the phone number of at least one friend.
