Wellington-Dead Pig Road
This route is pretty accessible year-around and dries out quickly. Scoot out via Country Club before heading to the northernmost road on the route: Dead Pig Road.
The legend stands that a group of riders stumbled upon a giant, dead pig in the road. No fowl (foul?) play was suspected, but the name stuck. No one has seen a pig out there before or after that fateful day.
This route is a part of the 2024 FoCo Fondo Training Series (April- alternate long route due to weather).
