 Rated: Strenuous

 Are you up for the Charles Town Challenge? 

 This pair of routes is the most difficult in the 

 Lexington Bikeways program! It has all the good 

 stuff for tenured and strong riders: medium size 

 gravel, often deep sand, and hills that combine-
-both. Don't let the challenge scare you off. If you-
-take your time and bring a big sense of adventure, 
-you'll see some of the prettiest countryside around!-
