McLain Farm Gravel "MFG" Routes
Training for McLain Farm Gravel “MFG”?
Thanks to the organizers we are able to provide the 2020 routes to explore.
Important note: Yes, the routes are open to ride anytime since they are routed on public roads. All we ask is that you don't park or ride at the farm any day outside of race day. All three routes can be accessed by parking at Stanton Elementary School, 14890 OH-213, Hammondsville, OH 43930..
Located in northern Jefferson County, Ohio, on the historic Yellow Creek, the McLain Farm has been in the family since 1858. The riders will line up in the field and start the first mile all on the farm before they exit the gates to the gravel. The three distances include 100, 62.5, and 35 mile options, highlighting some of the best gravel roads in all of eastern Ohio. With great climbs and even better descents, the ride is a mix of 70% gravel and 30% country roads showing off the area’s natural beauty.
