Salted Caramel Latte?
Here is a version of the famous Dirt Hammer, starting from YORK. The ride begins in town on pavement, once you cross Foster Bridge you will be on dirt roads. This is a classic Ann Arbor route. The dirt section starts with a pair of hills leading to Stein Road. Throughout the ride you will find punchy climbs.
The Mythical AA Local Loop
Are you looking for a MTB route that can be done from town?Here is a route that includes the “local loop” but picks up a few more trails, a mix of surfaces, flows well, crosses streets at good spots, etc. It can start/finish at York... or wherever you’d like it too.
Do you need to convert a Ride With GPS file? Ty Corle has this hack: you can download a .gpx from the rwgps site even without an account or signing in. To the right of the "send to device" button, click the 3 dots, then "more export options. (at least from a computer, not sure if it is available as an option on mobile)
