COURSE DESCRIPTION
The course starts at the Randolph High School on Forest Street/Rt. 12 in Randolph. There will be a neutral rolling start of .7 miles (1.1K) until Rt. 12a at the Randolph Recreation fields. At mile 5 (8K) racers will cross a live and active rail road track. Please use caution here as the crossing is not perpendicular to the road. Also be alert for approaching trains and stop as required. At mile 11 (18K) the road narrows as you pass under a narrow railroad bridge – please be sure to stay on your side of the yellow line. The first sprint hot spot is at mile 12 (20K) near Cram Hill Road. Racers will ride through Roxbury and onto Northfield where the course turns right onto Rt. 12 south. The single K/QoM will come at mile 27.5 (44K) is at the summit of the Brookfield Gulf. From the K/QoM there is a fast twisty downhill for 5 Miles (8K). The finish and second sprint hot spot is at Ayers Brook Goat Dairy at 37 miles from the start. It is a short distance from the finish to return to the high school
