They have two routes this year: the original Scenic Bikeway route and The Burton Flat, a second, longer route for riders looking for even more of a challenge. This second route will change every year but will encompass the climb up the Greensprings and the descent on Dead Indian Memorial Road. Both routes begin and end at Emigrant Lake on Hwy 66, four miles south of Ashland. They will again offer a terrific bar-b-q lunch after the ride with craft beer, shady tables in the pavilion, a nearby water slide and lots of camaraderie among fellow riders.
