Stonepay Valley

There are various routes in Stonepay Valley. Here are the main candidates. The times quoted are saddle time for fairly fit riders in good conditions who know the way and the terrain. Strong winds, mud, mechanical problems and stopping to talk can add 50% to the times. All these rides are a Par 2 – i.e. it is possible to complete all these rides with only putting a foot down twice (crossing the railway and one pipeline).

* Twin Ridge 2 to 3 hours
* Oil Canyon 1½ to 2 hours
* Valley Drop In shortens either of the above by about 15 minutes.
* McCleary’s Ridge 1¼ hours by itself or lengths Oil Canyon or Twin Ridge by 30 minutes
* Valley Run 30 to 45 minutes

They all share certain sections so rather than repeat the details, JUNCTIONS are used.
