We’re frequently asked what’s the Black Fork route like. Well, we think our riders describe it best:

“It’s a blast. Really, it is. For all the leg-shattering, lung-busting climbing you do, you’re rewarded with breathtaking views of rural Ohio in the spring, which for my money is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Wildflowers sprout by the roadside, cows bask in the freshly greened pastures, and little streams babble and gurgle their way down hillsides on their way to the Mighty Mohican.”- Pete Hitzeman, The Gravel Lot

Come see for yourself, Ohio’s famous Amish Country with its beautiful rolling hills, majestic farms, hardwood forests and sweet gravel backroads!
