Sat, 10/11 Long Route: Wohlford-WoodsValley-N Twin Oaks

[Daniel Upton]

Hi Frank!
This Saturday's RWGPS route (https://ridewithgps.com/routes/46079226), just after Gopher Canyon, seems to have a right turn, and through (a gate at?) Havens Country Club, and after the CC, ending up on dirt before connecting back onto Twin Oaks.  Is that the intent?  Or, is the intent, from Gopher Canyon, to turn right directly onto Twin Oaks and suffer the big first climb, as usual?

There looks to be a chain-link gate at the end of the dirt section. If it's closed, it won't be possible to pass through that section. And then you'll need to go back along the .6 mile dirt section in the other direction to get back to the road.

At the end of the dirt section that I see, I see, via the Street View, a metal gate easy to walk, or just ride, around.  Knowing Frank and Sean, they've explored it already.

Hi Daniel, Cody,
We've used this cut through several times now.  It's a way to avoid the gate on Twin Oaks Valley Road.  The natives seem friendly :-) and the dirt section is reasonably smooth.
