The route includes the following notable features: Hushaw bridge, Stone Bluff Bridge, Portland Arch, Williamsport Bridge, Rock Creek, Big Pine Creek, Fall Creek Gorge, Lovers Leap, and Hogback hill. Riders will cross the Wabash River twice and cross over 21 creeks all via roads. To receive credit cyclists will need to finish within 7 hours and 55 minutes.

 

Cyclists should be aware the start of the ride has very bad cell service, and several places along the route have limited service.
