Hurricane Creek Metric |
The Hurricane Creek Metric is 62 miles, starting and ending at the Cove Park ballfields near Hampton Cove. The route is mostly flat-to-rolling with no long climbs. It travels on good pavement thru some scenic farmland but to get there you'll have to pay attention; the route winds thru a couple of subdivisions and towns with a lot of turns.
The Hurricane Creek 48 is a shorter version of this ride, starting from Madison County High School near Gurley. The similar 64 mile New Market BBQ Ride ride adds some roads to the north.
