Cups Coffee Cafe - Red ride
Fantastic ride - Hargrove Lake road is incredibly scenic. If it weren't for the "three sisters" as we call them you could ride forever on a road like this.
The "three sisiters" are three climbs starting just before Dixon's Hawks Creek farm and ends at Yancy Rd. There is actually a fourth sister you can see just before turning on to Yancy Rd but we'll tackle her on another ride.  Distance: 9.53 miles
Distance: 29.70
Total ascent: 1100
Level of difficulty: Moderately difficult
