Willis River Trail

1.8 mi Out-and-back 171 ft gain

1.8-mile gravel route with 171 ft of elevation gain.

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.
  • 25 mph wind — strong — plan for slow outbound if wind is against you.
  • Exposed + wet + windy — mixed traffic in wet windy conditions — visibility and handling margin drop together.
