What type of terrain is on the O2S course?
A. The course is wide, extremely scenic, and biker-friendly. The Hard Rock is challenging in that it is obviously a long ride (48 miles), but it wears riders out due to the rolling hills and constant changes in terrain. The trail for the most part consists of hard-packed dirt, gravel and grass, but you will encounter rocky segments and some sand. There is one popular climb on the Hard Rock course-“Misery Hill”-a long (400 meters) rocky uphill in which many riders are incapable of pedaling the entire way. However, the satisfaction and view are worth the effort. Riders in the Hard Rock will appreciate merging trails with the Soft Rock as this portion of the course offers plenty of flats and downhill sections with a few hills of average difficulty to climb. The beauty of the course will appeal to all riders as it travels through the backwoods passing streams, inland lakes, gorgeous vistas, and historic places of interest.
