I’m seeking some route advice for The Railyard. I’ve got a 24 hour relay race coming up and I’d like to put together a practice lap at The Railyard, since it most closely matches the terrain I’ll be racing on. Here’s last years course: https://www.trailforks.com/route/albion-24-hours-2025/ The course is typically 16km with 275 to 300 meters of climbing.
I haven’t ridden The Railyard enough to be able to put together a similar route from memory. Can anyone recommend a similar route to train on?
The route we did in there on the weekend would be somewhat similar, didn’t go to any of the more technical trails. Started at seek, climb the hill, down cooked, stacked, pandemonium. Fooled around in the skill park for a bit. Then went satisfaction, to the reservoir loop, Nora Bernard to stairway to heaven, climbed the ring road Hill to do trash talking, then back up, down cooked and back to the car
Here is one of my go to laps. 16.5km, 170m elevation. Starts at pipeline parking lot. Im riding there again today. I can grab all the exact trail names. Goes through the Skills Park, Pandemonium, Stick Em Up, some double track, Cooked, Trash Talking, Stairway to Heaven, McCabe Loop, Callus Bypass, Roam, Reservoir Loop, Hawk, Wipeout, and back to Pipeline. Hit me up and I can take you for a lap in the next couple of weeks if you like. Im local.
