Don't be deceived by the relatively short distance on this challenging, historic and fun Bigfoot Adventure Challenge gravel route around the Weaverville Basin. The rider can expect long pitchy gravel and dirt road climbs and descents along with an awesome, slow down and enjoy traverse of the LaGrange Ditch from historic downtown Weaverville. .
