PINE GROVE ROAD RACE

Beginning at Pine Grove Furnace State Park, riders headed southwest on Pine Rd/Route 233, left at Shippensburg Rd., left on Wenksville Rd, then, NEW IN 2015, take a left on Old Railroad Rd. Old Railroad starts steep (and paved) and after a bit calms in pitch, but the tarmac ends and there's about a three mile stretch of dirt road from the top of Old Railroad along Pine Mountain Ridge Road until you once again encounter tarmac at the ATV parking lot at the summit of Bendersville Rd. Turn left, descend into Pine Grove Furnace State Park, then take a right on Pine Grove Rd. The finish is in a mile or so atop the second roller. About 2,000 feet of elevation gain along the route.
