The beginning of Magnolia Rd. is very steep, averaging over 9% for the first few miles, with some sections nearing 20%. Your bicycle will need good climbing gears. The gravel section of Magnolia (miles 11-18) is in excellent condition. The first aid station is near mile 20 in Nederland at Tin Shed Sports.

Switzerland Trail includes some technical rocky sections, so we suggest a minimum of a 40c tire. From Gold Hill, the route returns to the start/finish on campus via Boulder St., Gold Run Rd., Four Mile Canyon Dr., Poorman Rd., and Sunshine Canyon Dr. Once in Boulder, return to campus via 4th St, Pearl St., 6th St., Arapahoe Ave., and Folsom Ave. The Dirty Epic route is 59 miles, with 33 miles of gravel and 7000 feet of climbing.
