COURSE DIRECTIONS

The course starts 7 miles below this map at Black Creek Park, however it is a straight flat course plus Mapquest would not cooperate on that section. You cross the bridge over Doctors Inlet, take the first left on Hollypoint Road. Hollypoint turns into Plainfield Ave. then you take a left on Milwaukee for a total of 1.2 miles. You then cross over Dr’s Lake Dr. The bike path runs parallel and you go southwest approximately 3.9 miles. That is 12.5 miles. The course will be marked so no one should get lost. The major portion of the Black Creek path is shaded, Hollypoint is shaded and the majority of Dr’s Lake Dr. is shaded.
