Direction: Counterclockwise This route features some of the great pavement in the area then touches down on Forest Service roads for big bike or new rider fun! The first half of the ride is paved and tours through historic Deadwood. Once you get to Rochford the roads turn to gravel and the easy adventuring begins. Meander back through gulches, crossing from one gravel road to the next through Merritt, Nemo, and finally past Dalton Lake. The ride ends with Vanocker Canyon Rd.
