Directions:

Directions : Beginning at Ellis Hall, Head towards 17th St. / Football field. Continue up 17th street and make a left onto Washington St. Follow Washington St. all the way to 4th street. Turn right onto 4th street and continue toward Route 22. Turn Left into the Shopping Center and then make your way to the traffic light. Turn Left onto Route 22 and take the first right (it's a fork right after a gravel lot. Continue along Snyder's Run Rd and then make the left at the intersection towards Henderson Hollow Rd. At the next intersection, again continue straight onto River Rd instead of right. Follow this road all the way to the Corbin Island Bridge. It will be a single lane bridge on the left side of the road. Cross the bridge and go up the gravel hill that is straight ahead. Follow this all the way to the top. From here there are a few options:

Option 1 : Return to campus the same way you came https://ridewithGPS.com/routes/34008903

Option 2 : Continue on Corbin Rd to highway 829. From there you will go to Big Valley Pike / Rt 685. Then, fork left onto SR 1005. Eventually turn left onto Frain Rd. Take Frain Rd to Sugar Grove Rd to Stone Creek Ridge Rd back to Huntingdon. https://ridewithGPS.com/routes/35479308

Option 3 / 4 : Same as option 2 but are lengthened by taking different roads back See the GPS routes: https://ridewithGPS.com/routes/35479163 and https://ridewithGPS.com/routes/35479198

Car safety: Along this route, there is no shoulder, so you must assert your position on the road. There are plenty of straight sections for cars to safely pass you but be cautious if you are stopped or slowly moving on curves – STAY VISIBLE. On route 22, I recommend always riding on the side away from the giant, so you only cross it at the traffic light. Be cautious on the gravel as it is a single lane road open to cars.

Route Description / landmarks: The route is part road and part gravel. Be sure to keep good control on the small gravel descents and maintain speed on the ascents. The Corbin Rd. climb is a large climb but is quite physically rewarding. The descent on 829 is long and smooth.

Training Tips: Try to do the hill without stopping. Focus on your nutrition. Work on using your body as a suspension on the gravel. Focus on preventing your tires from slipping by controlling your weight distribution.

Option 2: Continue along Diamond Valley Rd to Leading Ridge Rd. back onto Diamond Valley to Furnace Rd. Follow furnace Rd. to tram Rd. and then a quick left then right onto Pennsylvania Furnace Rd. Follow that over the ridge to 45 and turn left.

Cont. Directions : Follow 45 to 350 / Warriors Mark Path Rd. Take that to Old Mill Rd / Huntingdon Furnace Rd. Follow that back to 45 and turn right to head south. From here you have two options:

Option 1: Head back via Colerain Rd (see option 1 above).

Option 2: Follow 45 South all the way to 453. (One note is that you will pass under a railroad bridge after a left turn that may not be fully apparent). Descend 453 to 22. Ride along 22 for a quarter mile to the Entrance to the rails to trails. (There is a sign for PA Bike Route S?). Turn left onto the trail to end up eventually on Alexandria pike. Turn right out of the lot and head back to Huntingdon.

Shortcut: Instead of Traveling along 45 to Huntingdon furnace you can just go south along 45.

Vistas : There are multiple vistas along this route. 3 of them are along the path (2 on Colerain Rd., 1 on PA furnace). The 4th vista is off a side trail along Colerain Rd (after the top of the hill). There will be a side trail marked with Yellow Blazes. There is a small 1-2 car lot on the left side of the road. The trail is on the right with a couple of boulders to mark it.

Car safety: Along this route, there is no shoulder, so you must assert your position on the road. There are plenty of straight sections for cars to safely pass you but be cautious if you are stopped or slowly moving on curves – STAY VISIBLE. Be careful of cars traveling along the forest roads.

Route Description / landmarks: This is a very challenging route with a lot of elevation gain and limited water or public access. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE WATER, FOOD, FIRST AID, AND REPAIR KITS. It is very possible to do the entire forest section without seeing another person and service is very spotty. Additionally, PA Furnace Rd is closed to motor vehicles and is very rough terrain. I recommend at least 50+oz of water with at least half being a hydration mix. That being said, this is a very fun ride with some amazing views (especially during the fall).

Training Tips: Try to do the hills without stopping. Focus on your nutrition. Focus on controlling the bike on the gravel.

Directions:

GPS Link: Not Provided

Directions : Head to the peace chapel. From here you can take Oak Trail to the Water Tower (Easier and flat). Loop trail can be a fun challenge. The other trails off Oak such as Horseshoe, etc., can be a fun challenge with skinny climbs, descents, and switchbacks.

Alternate routes : You can go down the road to the Water tower back into town via 5th St.

Car safety: There is very little on road time on this route. However, watch for animals on the trail and avoid losing control on steep descents.

Route Description / landmarks: There is a lot of variety to be had and this is a fun way to explore.

Training Tips: Try to go with minimal stopping. This is good handling practice, especially for a gravel bike.

You can optionally take the road up to the top of the dam and get a nice view of the lake. To return just do the route in reverse.

Route Description / landmarks: The route is part road and part gravel. Be sure to keep good control on the small gravel descents and maintain speed on the ascents. This tends to be a nice quiet ride without a whole lot of hills that can help loosen up any tight muscles with the roughness of the gravel.

Directions:

Directions : Beginning at Ellis Hall, Head towards 17th St. / Football field. Continue up 17th street and make a left onto Washington St. Follow Washington St. all the way to the end of town / Route 26. Turn Left and then Right onto Water Works Ave. Turn right at the stop sign onto Locust Ave. At Route 26, turn Left. Continue past the bridge over Standing Stone Creek and make a left onto Stone Creek Ridge Rd. (There will be a sign saying Isett Heritage Museum). This begins the ~1 mile climb. There is a shoulder for the straight section of the climb, but it tends to be full of debris, so use caution. Once at the top, continue along the road until it leaves the ridge. From here there are two choices:

Choice 1: Continue along the curves until you encounter Bark Ridge Rd and turn right. (It is at the power lines, the 2nd time you encounter them). Continue along Bark Ridge back to Stone Creek Ridge. There is a section of gravel, so use caution. Once on Stone Creek descend the hill. Be careful when descending, the right side of the lane has been torn up and repaved, so it is not smooth. I advise you to stay towards the middle. You can pick up a lot of speed on this hill. Hold on tight. From there, navigate back to campus https://ridewithGPS.com/routes/34280501

Choice 2 : Continue until you encounter Gorsuch Rd and turn left. It should not be that far. If you reach Bark Ridge, you have gone too far. Continue down Gorsuch Rd until you reach Route 26. (Use caution, Gorsuch Rd is a chip and seal road and may have loose surface). Once on 26, turn left and follow it back to town. https://ridewithGPS.com/routes/34064092

Car safety: Along this route, there is no shoulder, so you must assert your position on the road. There are plenty of straight sections for cars to safely pass you but be cautious if you are stopped or slowly moving on curves – STAY VISIBLE. On the ridge, winds can be strong, and it can be busy (especially near school dismissal). If traveling in reverse along the route, use caution to not fall down the drop off.

Route Description / landmarks: There are one to two sizable climbs. The descent can be a great way to get comfortable with high speeds(40+mph). The ridge offers amazing views.

Training Tips: Try to complete this without stopping. Work on going up the hill faster and without needing to rest at the top.
