330 miles | 43,000′ gain | It’s a tough one

The Breakdown explores the vastness of the Pine Mountain region starting at Breaks Interstate Park and heading off west towards the sunset and “The Hardest Race in Kentucky”, the WarDaddy.

Traversing the Grand Canyon of the South, it is a showcase of the best these rugged and historic Appalachian Mountains has to offer. Superb mountain-line scenery tracing the backbone of the Kentucky/Virginia border and a tradition of pure, hard adventure.

“Totally ridiculously steep KYgravel climbs. I have no words.”
