Event comments
The Gettysburg Battlefield is dominated by hills (Seminary Ridge, Culp's Hill, Little Round Top, etc) and the bike route goes up the hills. The 25K route covers most of the major parts of the battlefield and bicycling is an excellent way to tour the battlefield. The 15K route is only thru parts of the battlefield for the first day of the battle and the Spangler Spring/Culps Hill/East Cemetery Hill parts of the battlefield from the second day.
Rating: 2A, Distance: 15, 25km
