Earl’s Spa 68

Terrain: Rolling to Hilly

Distance: 68 Miles

Level: Intermediate to strenuous

From Montgomery: Take US 231 north to Wetumpka. Earl’s is 10-11 miles north after you cross the Tallapoosa River. You’ll go through Wetumpka on 231. You’ll pass Hwy 14 intersection and Hwy 9 (Earl’s is on the right 1.2 miles north of the Hwy 9 intersection and Tutwiler prison). Park at Earl's Spa or any of the convenient stores around the area. Route distances begin at Earl's. Anytime you ride in Elmore CO you’ll experience hilly terrain. There are no "tough" climbs in this area, but you’ll be going up and down a lot around and the length of this ride makes it one for the fit rider. Great place to ride though.
