Buckeye to Dead Pig

53 miles and 1400 feet of elevation. Lots of cut-off options on this route. Overall, it’s a relatively flat route to Buckeye and back.

This route is also a part of the FoCo Fondo Training Series.

The Stats:

• Distance: 53 miles

• Paved: 40%

• Climbing: 1500 feet

Notes: Pretty straightforward. Note most of the climbing is in the first half so you can go out a little harder.

Refills: None

Tires: Something like a WTB Vulpine in a 36 would be super fun. A lot of the gravel is fast rolling and is best paired with a fast gravel tire that can get you through the technical and loose sections.
