MDBR 4

4.2 mi Out-and-back 125 ft gain

4.2-mile paved route with 125 ft of elevation gain, signed as part of the regional cycle network, route reference “4”, routed on public roads.

Thunderstorms in the forecast — lightning and cyclists are a bad combination.

  • Thunderstorms — lightning and cyclists do not mix — get off the road before they arrive.
  • Pavement: wet — wet during the likely ride window — reduced braking, road spray, limited visibility to drivers.
  • 29 mph wind — strong — plan for slow outbound if wind is against you.
  • Exposed + wet + windy — on road traffic in wet windy conditions — visibility and handling margin drop together.
