Walla Walla is famous for its renowned road riding, but the locals have been venturing into the Blue Mountains for years to get their fix of first class gravel roads. This course includes the iconic, and challenging, Cottonwood Creek climb. Unlike the 45 and 65, this is a big tire route, we’d recommend 50mm or fatter!

“All three courses have steep sections which some might need to walk up without proper gearing. Courses are designed for experienced cyclists and are not for the faint of heart! Miles 45 to 82 is rough and the Tiger Canyon descent has legit pinch flat material (both washboard and big-ish rocks), plus this is definitely goat-head territory. A tubeless wheel / tire set up is highly recommended.” By Allegro Cyclery.

Caution, this is a Development Route. It has not been fully vetted or ridden by the Dirty Freehub Team. Go prepared and expect a bit more adventure. Any feedback you have would be much appreciated. You can leave it below in the comments block.
