        The Damned Grant Ride in flaming text
        This ride travels 66.6 hellish miles starting from the Cove Park ballfields near Hampton Cove. The route includes one fiendish mountain and a few wicked hills but it's mostly flat to rolling.

Passing by 13 cemeteries there'll be many opportunities to renew old acquaintances, dead and undead...

The one climb is Cottonville Road which has a 7% average grade with a couple of steep switchbacks near the base. The descent on Babe Wright is possibly the fastest in the area but watch out for gravel in the gentle bends at the top, it finishes with a straight drop on great pavement.

Here's the same route for the undamned.
