Nashville Firecracker Goat 2015
Cycling Route
Details
11.66 mi
1,144 ft
This is NOT the easiest route of the 2015 GOAT ride! Don't let the distance fool you! This route travels through beautiful Brown County State Park. Dan Henry's are NOT used on this route. Look for the green florescent signs with arrows. The route contains some very significant climbs. On the back side of the park, there is a very BIG downhill that contains a sharp curve about 1/2 way down. Be VERY careful here! Then (remember - whatever goes DOWN must come UP) there is a very big UPHILL next affectionately known as "Horeseman's Hill" or... well... we won't mention the other names. You might be walking on this one if you don't have good gearing AND strong legs and lungs. Be prepared to clip out.
